From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've been a foot user for quite some time now. However, this seems interesting.

[–] Atemu@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 hours ago

IME it feels much snappier than foot.

rn Im using Kitty, I'll check out Ghostty later.

[–] SmokeInFog@midwest.social 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I <3 kitty, will probably give this a look but I've got kitty so well tuned to my liking at this point it's hard for me to imagine switching

[–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

Have got kitty and xterm looking identical, multiplexing is done by zellij anyway

I think kitty is a bit snappier but honestly you could switch one out for the other and I probably wouldn't notice

I think I'll stick to alacritty, but options are always fun

[–] fin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Same. Wezterm is good enough so far

I was very satisfied with Bash for a long time until my friend got me using Zsh. I still am not sure i need Zsh over Bash honestly. Command autocomplete is obnoxious

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago

Bash and zsh aren't terminals. They're shells.

[–] Nibodhika@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago

Different things. Bash/Zsh/Fish/Nu are shells, i.e. a low level CLI interface with the computer. On systems with graphics you need a graphical program to display the shell, e.g Konsole/Gnome-shell/Alacritty. Also there's a third (optional) program to render the line where you type commands differently, this is called a prompt and there are several different ones, e.g. Powerlevel10k/oh-my-posh/Starship.

I don’t know that anyone “needs” anything more than bash. It’s the creature comforts that sell the other shells. That said, bash has never hung or crashed on me. I can’t say the same for zsh.
