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.

See I found that but I still could not figure out the install process. I finally figured that libsixel was the newest one but it still seems unmaintained. I ended up compiling it from source as it was not in the fedora repos. At this point I am more confused about the correct version of sixel to use. Libsixel is the only one I can really find
Most of the terminals which support sixel doesn't use libsixel at all, instead they've developed their own implementation.
See I have foot and it says it supports sixel but no sixel commands were working until I got libsixel installed
Install xterm. Bam, you've got sixel support.
I love sixel! On Konsole it works out of the box, and it's my main way to work with plots on headless remote machine 😊.
