more evidence that “modern” just means “written in javascript”

I really hate this trend of making absolutely everything a web view / Electron.
- Trent ( @Trent@lemmy.ml ) English43•1 year ago
A terminal that uses Electron? Hah, no…not a chance. I’ll stick with wezterm.
- eight_byte ( @eight_byte@feddit.de ) English4•1 year ago
Absolutely. wezterm is so good.

I installed it yesterday, I’m using kitty as default one, and noticed its just better in displaying colors. They kinda have a bit of more depth there. Any other cool uses of wezterm that you might recommend? Thanks!
- oshecho ( @oshecho@programming.dev ) English4•1 year ago
Another kitty user here. Sounds like I’ll have to checkout wezterm…

First time I read about it, what’s great about it? I currently use a combo of alacritty and tmux and aside for a thing or two I could configure better I love it.
- TheFriendlyArtificer ( @TheFriendlyArtificer@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year ago
Not OP.
Wezterm can offload a lot onto a GPU which makes it a bit snappier. It also has built-in support for displaying graphics via SIXEL.
It’s my go-to terminal emulator for anything Wayland. Alacritty seems to have been abandoned, sadly.

It looks like you can run it as a regular webapp, too: https://app.tabby.sh/

Why would anybody use this over wezterm or alacritty?
- Fryboyter ( @Fryboyter@discuss.tchncs.de ) English3•1 year ago
Why should I use wezterm or alacritty and not Terminator?
The answer to your question and mine should be pretty much the same. Because everyone has different preferences and requirements.
- Makussu ( @Makussu@feddit.de ) English6•1 year ago
I think you misunderstood. I want to know what requirements you have, that are not met with wezterm. I understand, that some people like different software, but this is a huge github repo for a terminal written with electron. Just confuses me

Damn I gave those a brief lookup and they seem quite sexy. I’ll have to try them out.

foot terminal enjoyer
- aeroevan ( @aeroevan@lemmy.sdf.org ) English1•1 year ago
My main complaint with foot is that I have to copy the terminfo everywhere, but other than that it just works I guess

Tabby seems to get a lot of hate in the comments here, but I enjoy it for the following reasons:
- it looks consistently on all platforms
- it has a nice working sync of connection profiles (even of ssh keys…encrypted!)
- its opensource
Yes, it is built on electron-crappie, but for someone who jumps across different workstations with multiple hosts with their own configurations, tabby is very straightforward.
Could the sync be done with other means? Sure, but I won’t bother since tabby offers that OOTB and I can get up and running in 5 minutes from a fresh install.

- So can qt, gtk and pretty much any gui toolkit
- Syncthing or git annex functionally the same
- So is every other terminal
Basically just wasting resources for no reason

Tabby looks very good and straightforward but I’m more of a Nushell guy. Really love the user experience there.
- kraxyk ( @kraxyk@beehaw.org ) English2•1 year ago
Cool project. I’m personally not a fan of using a terminal written in a web centric paradigm.

I heard about this here, definitely going to give it a try, but I generally prefer simple, lightweight
