1/2 Aproveitando que estou agitado hoje (e acho que não dormirei tão cedo), me ajudem (se puderem, claro):

Atualmente uso #Debian e considerando migrar para o #Devuan (sem o #systemd). Estou aprendendo a programar (meus horizontes são #Python e #Java (por diversos motivos) e quero usar o mínimo de interface gráfica possível ao longo do tempo. Tenho em vista utilizar o #GNUEmacs e atualmente uso o gerenciador de janelas #i3wm com o #alacritty (de emulador de terminal). #blambers

My laptop had filled with 4 years of cruft, conflicting configs, and unnecessary files. Things were slow so I decided to wipe it completely. I always loathe setting up new machines but honestly it was a breeze. Getting my dev environment and look and feel back up only took about an hour or so, and this thing boots so much faster now.

#Linux #Fedora #Fastfetch #Alacritty #Framework

Alacritty 0.16.1

https://linuxnauta.com/templates/alacritty/

I created a voidlinux template and binaries for Alacritty with the graphics suport using the fork from https://github.com/ayosec/alacritty

#voidlinux #alacritty

Linuxnauta - Alacritty graphics Template

Template and binaries for Alacritty patched for graphics in VoidLinux

Moved from #alacritty to #kitty this week. But I really needed a better icon.
Picked the white one. 😺https://github.com/DinkDonk/kitty-icon

Trying out #Hyprland. Pictured are a #Waybar (top of screen) and two #Alacritty terminal windows of which the right-hand side window is running #Btop++. #FLOSS #Linux #opensuseTumbleweed

i had the slight intuition that #alacritty is a bit faster if i run it on the remote computer using #waypipe . i used #termbench-pro to bench the difference is impressive:

@jnunemaker I see no mention of #Alacritty here. I switched to it form iTerm2 (which I had been sponsoring and using for years and years) when iTerm2 introduced AI features.
Nachdem ich jetzt einige Wochen #niri & #alacritty am laufen hatte, bin ich wieder zurück zu #i3 und #xterm - die Input Latenz unter #Wayland ist mehr als ich bereit bin zu ertragen. Fühlt sich einfach sluggish an, so wie bei Android oder Windows.
