How often do you use images inside a terminal?

Why having a Gpu-accelarated terminal? The computational power used by the graphical rendering of a terminal is minimal...

Nice, this may be the path to kill AI made for money and not for helping people

Once upon a time, I loved Xfce Terminal. It use light and complete for the use-case I had. Then I wanted something that looked nicer with vin. So I started looking for an alternative.

I used alacrity for a long time (4 years). Then, I found kitty provided some nice stuffs that simplified the workflow for remote servers thanks to special ssh commands and session tabs. I used kitty for about 2-3 years. One thing I missed was that it's hard to integrate with other software because it implementa all it's crazy "kitty protocols" and pretend to use them even if they're compleynon-standard.

Recently, some misterious bug appeared and made it impossible to use. I switched to wezterm. I liked it could be configured in Lua, so it feels more coherent with my neovim configs. I just missed the mappings for switching terminal and send "!!" (i.e. execute last command). The special commands for copying custom configs on any ssh server was also missing, but it's easy to make a script for that. I haven't experienced too much with integrating it with other tools, but I suspect it's not better than kitty in this.

I gave a chance to konsole last week. I just asked myself why we (neovim users) all look for Gpu-accelarated stuffs. The improvement in performance is negligible actually. However, konsole is super-well integrated in the OS, with a scratch terminal (yakuake), file managers (dolphin, konqueror), text editors (Kate), and even simple browsers (konqueror). It provides all the features of wezterm. I still lack a key map for sending "!!" to a specific terminal, though. But I think the integration it offers is superior to that niche feature (that can be paired within neovim, btw).

I also use Ventoy. Someone says it has problems, I never found them

The thing is that people use Linux and than find it so good that they try to find problems in order to spend time playing with it. It's like a hobby, or a game... But you can also use it without making it a hobby. Ubuntu was born for this, but for that I would honestly suggest something like Manjaro

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"

What are the benefits if Gpu-accelarated terminals? From my understanding, that's a really negligible difference.

Probably the second is the reason

Rules for the "compost waste" doesn't apply for making the compost that you use as a fertilizer. Maybe that's why we call it "wet". It's basically anything that is biodegradable. But not everything that is biodegradable is ok for fertilizing...

Windows+Enter

I never tried PopOS, but I would never suggest Ubuntu. Manjaro is easy, updated, there are many people using it, offers large number of software, works well with Nvidia and other propietary drivers (the thing that generates issues for new users, usually). I know people think they had "security" problems, but they always explained what happened, and they just had a bad contract with the CDN service and a misleading error message in pamac, that didn't impact the security of the user.

You're so funny man
