Decided to customise #LinuxMint on my old #Macbook Air 13", 2012. I only use it very sparingly so never took time to personalise it. I just installed #zsh onto the #gnometerminal and my favourite theme #Powerlevel10k. Time to choose a colour theme! This seems like a good source!

Color Schemes for Terminals

I've been running #GnomeTerminal for years, but now it may bet time for a change. What #Terminal emulators are you using on your #Linux systems and why?

#foss #linuxmint #debian #operatingSystem #FOSSOS

#Arch #Linux #shell #terminal

I suspected #zsh was becoming increasingly sluggish. Wrongfully, as I found out. It was probably the #kitty terminal that was responsible for this. Over the past week, I tested some shell and terminal software. I stuck with "zsh" as the shell. There were interesting alternatives for the terminal, but configuring them required several years of study. In the end, #GnomeTerminal won the race. It is easy to configure and only requires a fraction of the RAM compared to "Kitty".

Ich hatte ja #zsh in Verdacht, zunehmend behäbiger zu werden. Zu Unrecht, wie ich herausfand. Vielmehr war wohl #kitty als Terminal dafür verantwortlich. Innerhalb der vergangenen Woche testete ich daher einige Shell- und Terminal-Software. Als Shell blieb es bei "zsh". Beim Terminal gab es interessante Alternativen, deren Konfiguration jedoch ein mehrjähriges Studium erforderten. Letztlich hat derzeit #GnomeTerminal das Rennen gemacht. Gut konfigurierbar benötigt es nur einen Bruchteil RAM gegenüber "Kitty".

mucho se habla del #DistroHopping pero ¿qué me dicen del #TerminalHopping o #ShellHopping?

yo por ejemplo he tocado #GnomeTerminal, #Terminator, #guake, #yakuake, #kitty y #alacritty que recuerde. Pasé un largo tiempo usando #Guake hasta que extrañé mi tecla F12 y decidí usar un área de trabajo completa solo para el terminal, como hago ahora.

De shells he pasado casi toda mi vida en #bash y llegué a tocar #zsh y otras raras pero ahora soy feliz en #fish

¿y ustedes?

ok, llevo unos días que cambié #gnomeTerminal por #alacritty y tengo las siguientes

I M P R E S I O N E S

cosas que extraño de gnome-terminal:

* que sí le sirve la pantalla completa
* que puede adaptarse al "modo oscuro" del resto del escritorio

cosas que me gustan de Alacritty:

* que le puedo añadir transparencia al terminal y se ve mamón
* que puedo seleccionar, desplazarme en la historia, copiar y pegar sin usar el ratón
* que puedo configurar con #TOML

I code on #terminals since 40 years, text-only, and since 10+ years I wait for mixing graphics - and then you realize, #SIXEL (inline graphics) is available since forever, except most terminal emulators like #gnometerminal don't support it. black-box does support it but gnu-screen doesn't, here what's possible (aichat not yet released):

In order to feel comfortable on my computer, I have to personalize a few things. Second item on the agenda, right after the odyssey of choosing the right desktop background, is setting up the terminal. I've gotten used to my setup so much that I don't want to be missing it. The starting point is a fresh Ubuntu installation.
