• Warp? A terminal behind login popup

  My journey of using terminal emulators began together with my introduction to Linux about 7 years ago. GNOME terminal was my first as it came pre-installed on Ubuntu, my first Linux distribution. Since then, I've had the opportunity to explore and utilize a range of terminal emulators, including Alacritty, Kitty, st, Konsole, xterm, and most recently iTerm2. It's been interesting to experiment with these different... - Source: dev.to / 2 days ago

• What's a good Linux terminal emulator that doesn't try to reinvent TMUX?

  Alacritty is simple and fast[0] (it does have mouse support, but no tabs, sessions, or startup scripts as far as I know. Configuration is all via config file.). Is that the kind of thing that you were looking for? [0] https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Rust Easy! Modern Cross-platform Command Line Tools to Supercharge Your Terminal

  Let us start with the terminal itself. Alacritty is a cross-platform modern terminal emulator with sensible defaults. It is GPU accelerated, super fast, and highly configurable. You can use it on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It doesn't have much in terms of a UI, and hence all configurations are done through YAML files. I don't use it as my primary terminal as I love Yakuake too much for all its cool features. We... - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• Weird Terminal Color Problem -- LXTerminal, urxvt, .Xresources, and VIM are not playing well together

  The solution of course is to use a better terminal emulator. Personally I use wezterm, which ships with 700 color themes to choose from, including gruvbox. Kitty is good too, and also comes with a lot of themes. If you need something light weight, maybe alacritty? - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago

  I rarely use Windows, /r/linux_gaming ftw, but I would recommend either cmder or alacritty or other terminal with some reverse search in history of commands. cmd.exe is usually an emergency. - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago

• Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here! (37/2022)!

  Is there a way to get an accurate line count and compile time? For example https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty. It takes ~50s to compile on my machine. I can't figure out the line count when it includes dependencies. - Source: Reddit / 9 months ago

• Are you missing any native (free) software in Debian?

  For instance, Joplin) is one such software available in all of the above three flavors but not natively. Alacritty is available as snap package but not yet natively. - Source: Reddit / 9 months ago

• Ask HN: Which Linux terminal emulator do you prefer and why?

  I was a happy urxvt user for years, but switched to Alacritty[1] about a year or so ago. My main reasons for switching were wanting better emoji support (urxvt handles Unicode admirably, but not emoji) and wanting a better configuration language (I hate writing Xresource rules). I don't believe it's had a 1.0 release yet, but it's been stable in my use cases, and (perceptively) performant. [1]:... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Here, fixed the meme for you

  The thing is, you can use VS Code and GitHub on macOS. And you can find good third party terminals like Alacritty (which is cross platform for Windows, macOS and Linux). WSL is very good for coding, executing applications while coding, etc. But it's a sandbox. You cannot (as far as I know) manage your files from there, write scripts to execute on startup, automate backups, etc. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago

  Honorable mentions to the cross-platform term. Emulator Alacritty for it's usable vi-mode to copy stuff to the sys. clipboard. It's missing stuff like zz zt and zb, etc. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
