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.

Kitty, hands down. GPU accelerated; native image protocol implemented by ranger, neofetch, and more; incredibly customizable; multiplexing with multiple windows and tabs; ligature support; and much more

If anybody has any questions about it, swing on over to Kitty Terminal Emulator [[email protected]]

How often do you use images inside a terminal?

Why having a Gpu-accelarated terminal? The computational power used by the graphical rendering of a terminal is minimal...

what kind of benefit can i expect from a gpu accelerated terminal?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

I've been using it for a while now, and it is fine. But it is very often that I open htop and kitty is one of the big cpu wasters. Maybe I've configured something wrong? But yeah, sure, works.

GPU-fucking-accelerated terminal emulator. Damn, what an age to live in.
