I may have accidentally bought a Mac Mini M4. It was a good deal, though.

As I'm testing it out - what terminal app is the go-to now? Are there any other apps I should be aware of? I've last used Mac OS X back when Himmel the Hero was still alive.

To clarify: I did not buy it to run an LLM.

@asie i've been using iterm2, not too sure what people tend to use besides that
Show threadmichciaFeb 13
@asie iterm2 is still the community default i think

@asie theres an app called stats for putting more cpu/etc numbers into your tray
karabiner-elements if you feel a need to rebind your keyboard to a different layout or invert scroll on different input devices separately
i never tried hard enough to learn mac networking so to be able to see my ip address i have iproute2mac
that's about all i have that's mac specific stuff in my ~/.Brewfile

@michcia @asie nah, it's slow, don't use it especially if you have a big screen and use tmux

@asie I’ve been trying wezterm lately, mainly because of how configurable it is. It is pretty modern and apart from needing to configure mouse events ( I have no clue who would be happy with the defaults ) I like it until now. That said, most likely it is because I set up a parallax scrolling background 😛

@asie Terminal.app is alright if you configure it a bit.

I've been trying ghostty recently due to One Specific Thing Terminal.app didn't support, and I mostly like it?

@asie the cool new kid on the block seems to be Ghostty, its triple-click-to-select-command-output (with the help of its "shell integration" feature) seems novel?
Show threadChristopher SnowhillFeb 13
@asie I just use the stock Terminal app now. There's also Ghostty if you want a speedy GPU rendered terminal without a whole lot of frills. Frills excluded would also happen to be the ability to search the scrollback history. I hear they may have actually finally implemented that after over a year since launch, at least on macOS. It was put off for so long because a shortcut key was quickly added at one point that just dumps your entire scrollback to a file in /tmp/ and then pastes the path to the file into the terminal.

@asie i really like ghostty on both macOS and Linux

@asie tried ghostty but didn't like it, using kitty again but still looking for something better, stopped using iterm2 because after trying kitty it felt slow

@asie I personally find the built in Terminal just fine, but I know there are still some iTerm die hards out there.

It’s been 29 years since Himmel the Hero died.

@asie I use iTerm. Good feature set and feels nice to use. I tried Ghostty for a bit, but found it still felt early enough that some crucial-to-me features were missing so I went back to iTerm.
