Linux

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 reconsidering my terminal emulator and was curious what everyone was using.

I mean, the Deepin one is gorgeous to look at, but that's not usually my concern if I'm typing in some code. My go to is Yakuake running a fish session, launched with a "Super + #" hotkey combo. Rapid access, easy to use, doesn't get in the way, customisable so it at least looks in keeping with the rest of the DE.

Tilda, because I could drop it down my screen anytime with one key tap.

I'm liking Warp, Tabby and Wezterm currently. Working on a config for my NixOS Hyprland and planning to see how foot does in comparison. Blackbox was pretty cool, but didn't use it much.

As a newb, Tabby has been really nice for me to quickly open the SFTP window so I can orient myself in the file structure. It's been really great.

Lots of terminal jokes you could have chosen.

I prefer C6 out of Chicago O’Hare.

Plain ol bash

But I'm using yakuake which makes it beyond amazingly cool. Been using g that for over a decade and I'd never stop using that.
