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.

I'm reconsidering my terminal emulator and was curious what everyone was using.

I really love Tabby

Tabs, CMD, SSH, Powershell... all included. It has multiple profiles, can be used portable, has themes and Integrations, like one for Docker

Never need anything else imo 😊

Tabby is great, but takes considerably longer to start. When I want a terminal, I want it instantly. Kitty and Alacrity are two of my favorites.

Put it in the autostart 🤷🏻‍♂️

I counted the seconds for the start... 4 seconds on my system. Tabby is way more comfortable and has a much nicer UI. Those 4 seconds are totally woth it 🐱

!Put it in the autostart 🤷🏻‍♂️!<

Never.

I get it though, I held onto it for awhile before that extra few seconds got to be enough.

The thing that I love about Linux is choice. To me, Tabby sounds terrible, but I'm glad that it has a community behind it to give people that choice. Whatever works for you!

Could not agree more 😊
