• Warp, the modern terminal, is now available for Linux

  A terminal with built-in telemetry and a pricing model... Just what I never wanted! To avoid being too negative, I'll offer the option of Kitty[1]. My current favorite terminal. Supports many features. Including my personal favorites: * ctrl+c (as opposed to stupid things like ctrl+shift+c) to copy data only when you have content selected. Otherwise, ctrl+c sends a sigint like normal. * font ligature support (a... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• I Just Wanted Emacs to Look Nice – Using 24-Bit Color in Terminals

  IME, this is like the golden age of terminal apps in general and macOS-compatible ones in particular. There are several really good terminals for macOS: [iTerm2 app](https://iterm2.com/) [Kitty terminal](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/) [WezTerm terminal](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/index.html) [Alacritty](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty) -... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Waveterm

  I haven’t tried this yet (so please take my commentary with a grain of salt), but my initial thoughts are: (1) it looks interesting, (2) it looks overwhelming (there’s a lot going on in those screenshots), and (3) it’s likely slow (I might be completely wrong). To elaborate a bit… 1. I love good design work and well-designed (UI-wise) software, and it certainly looks like the creators of Wave Terminal have made... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Contour: Modern and Fast Terminal Emulator

  There are lots of terminal projects recently. Ghostty (https://mitchellh.com/ghostty) and Terminal Click (https://terminal.click) come to mind. Also Warp and Fig but they don't appeal to me because they're proprietary (and Fig got acquired by Amazon). I've been very happy with kitty (https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/) for years and it would take a lot to make me switch. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Linux Terminal Emulators Have the Potential of Being Much Faster

  I favor kitty[0] and zutty[1]. Gnome terminal / libvte is and has always been slow, and alacritty might have good throughput, but sadly is high latency. 0. https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/ 1. https://tomscii.sig7.se/zutty/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Groovy 🎷 Cheat Sheet - 01 Say "Hello" from Groovy

  Alternatively, you can use sdkman. A great tool to install your Software Development Kit. The downside is that it only works on *nix systems. So for Widnows users, you will have to use WSL or Cygwin as the official page suggests. It is really simple to use sdkman. After a successful installation, just type those commands into your *nix shell:. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• How do you even get started programming in c++ on Windows?

  You could try Cygwin. I never leave home without it. Source: about 1 year ago

• What exactly IS gitbash?

  It's launching MSYS2, which is in turn based on cygwin, which is a collection of common Linux utilities built for windows and an incomplete POSIX abstraction layer. Source: over 1 year ago

• Kind of an obvious design flaw

  IME, not really? Git for Windows or MSYS2 are both pretty solid. I used Cygwin for years, but MSYS2 seems to integrate a bit more smoothly (plus MSYS uses pacman instead of Cygwin's fiddly gui for package management). Source: over 1 year ago

• WSL - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS using a ton of memory?

  Try Cygwin or Msys2, they are not running virtual machines. For Bash and Neovim only you probably don't want to run a whole virtual machine. Source: over 1 year ago
