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'm looking for a new terminal. What's your favorite one and why? Which one is popular?

I like kitty because:

  • multiplexing
  • more minimal than DE terminals
  • fast
  • can display images natively

How often do you use the image display within a terminal?

Kitty is not "minimal" at all, it's full of superfluous features... I used it for many years and I loved it, but I wouldn't say it's "minimal"

I look at images a lot, don't use a real image viewer much
