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.

For rendering high quality images in the terminal, check out the Kitty graphical protocol. I don't know if they are any python libraries to use, but I think that they are. P.S. This seems to work well https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58138638/how-to-display-graphical-images-in-kitty-terminal-using-python
does this protocol work for other terminals? such as alacritty, foot, urxvt, or even st (with appropriate patch ofc)?
A quick research tells me that there aren't patches for other emulators, but the protocol seems well described, so making those patches is possible. I could also take a look at Alacritty source code and deicide if I could make this project work.
