JesseBotOK, the number one thing that is awful about Debian Bananas is the battery life of my macbook has gotten awful. I used to be able to last all day on macOS. Now I last a couple hours, tops :[
It's wezterm!! The CPU spikes to like 40+% when I'm just scrolling a big file in wezterm using neovim. I was going to drop them anyway because they started integrating ai slop into the code base, but this is the push I needed to try out a few replacements.
First up, foot.
OK, foot cannot split, and that's a deal breaker for me.
Here's a wild thought: What if the answer was konsole all along?
I guess I should explain what my requirements are.... in the form of a markdown file!
Essentially I need:
- open source
- cross platform (at least debian + macOS for now)
- transparency
- image support
- splitting
- tabs
- does not eat all my CPU/memory
- is not slopware
So, let's see if we can make konsole do our bidding. cracks knuckles
nikolasdi@nikolasdi So I do love zellij! But I just never have the time to properly memorize the keys for it and keeping the giant border feels a bit ugly, also I haven't always gotten it to work with copy and pasting everywhere consistently. I'm not really a fan of tmux since zellij hit. I do still recommend zellij to others though. :)
Tobias@jessebot Maybe if you want extend the table for people after you, you could include Ghostty. I think it ticks most your boxes. (I'm not suggestesting you must try it tho)
@krono I decided against continuing the evaluation, because it welcomes AI usage:
https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/blob/main/AI_POLICY.md
I did add what data I could find though, and also went ahead and added which terminals are slop free:

more slop free terminals I haven't had a chance to evaluate can be found here:
