  It would be an interesting addition forbthe benchmark, although it's Wayland only. [0] https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Show HN: Wave – Modern Open-Source Terminal (macOS and Linux)

  But it's only for wayland, so I need to use alacritty on macOS. [0] https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• WezTerm is a GPU-accelerated cross-platform terminal emulator

  Alacritty is not minimal in its memory consumption. Foot is probably the best wayland minimal terminal emulator with an average memory consumption of ~2mb per instance. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Change transparency and color pallet of foot terminal ?

  Did you have a look at this page? It includes a themes folder. Also this page specifically mentions transparency. Source: about 1 year ago

• Anyone here use tiling window managers?

  Hi! HHKB user since 2004. Linux user since '95. I've been using tiling window managers for about 20 years. I've tried a few. Ratpoison first, then ion, then xmonad, then spectrwm (which is my favourite), but since I moved to wayland a couple of years ago, I've settled on sway (https://swaywm.org/). Meta-Return spawns a terminal (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot, which is blazingly fast, using very little resources).... Source: over 1 year ago

• What terminal emulator are you using?

  I use foot; [dnkl/foot: A fast, lightweight and minimalistic Wayland terminal emulator](https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot). I've use kitty and alacritty in the past as well. Both are fine, but I currently like foot a little more. Source: over 1 year ago
