Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Tabby is an infinitely customizable cross-platform terminal app
> Yeah... xterm with a few tweaks (and some pruning) would still be best for me.
Check https://github.com/csdvrx/CuteXterm for my bag of tricks :)
xterm offers the best emulation, period. The developer is reactive and maintain high quality standards. The only real issues for me are the lack of configurable shortcuts, and ligatures. wezterm is a good option if you need these, and don't depend on xterm perfect emulation.

Forking Chrome to Render in a Terminal
> Most emulate an xterm, which didn't have support for graphics
Start your xterm with the right flags and it will.

I Finally Found a Solid Debian Tablet: The Surface Go 2
> Surely you need AHK because Windows is less configurable
No, because it lets me do remap like having Caps be both Control and Esc - and I do the same with Enter being both Control when used with another key, and Enter alone. My Alt keys are Alt keys when used with another key, or Home/End when used alone.
> How are you using terminals in Windows? Like you want to SSH from a fresh install, what do I do?
Install openssh from the windows settings (check https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administrati...)
I'd recommend the latest Windows terminal from the Microsoft store, or mintty from msys2, but that's just for comfort :)
> I find Linux superior here, but interested to learn why you're the opposite; maybe I'm doing it wrong
I like sixels, so I prefer mintty, but even without sixels, I find the Windows experience better: I want cute fonts with ligatures in my terminal. I want proper support of bold, underline, italic. I want multiple tabs. I want to map key actions to everything - like, I want my terminal to change its color profile and font with just 1 key.
That's very hard on Linux. That's easy on Windows.

what windows features that have no equivalent in linux?
If I was feeling playful, I'd point you to https://github.com/csdvrx/cuteXterm and grab some popcorn while you turn red and pretend it doesn't matter and we could have a fun debate.

Show HN: Sixel-tmux displays graphics even if your terminal has no Sixel support
Apologies for misgendering you. My opinion that you come off like a windows fangirl was mostly due to the other rant you linked in the sixel-tmux rant: https://github.com/csdvrx/cutexterm#wait-i-thought-people-sa...
Here you mention some other things unrelated to terminals, and I was mostly addressing those. It seems to me you want a specific type of experience on Linux, but you can't get that, so therefore dismiss the merits of Linux. I think a lot of your impressions on Linux come from using an X11 based setup instead of Wayland. Completely different beasts, and I think a lot of your grievances would be solved by the latter.
For me, I cannot go back to Windows, ethical reasons aside: Sway on Wayland is perfect for me, and it's what I want out of my computing experience.
I actually agree with a lot that is written in those rants, particularly the VTE and gnome terminal situation. It's just your comments on windows vs linux came across as very personal imo, so I suppose I have retorted here with also a somewhat personal rant.
Also, I don't think either platform has many good terminal choices. Besides mintty, I don't think there are that many good (platform exclusive) terminal emulators on Windows. And on Linux, Foot is one of the few that meets my criteria, including top tier Sixel support (though Wezterm meets my criteria too if it wasn't so slow, hopefully it gets faster). But, for example, I could never really like mintty if I was forced to use Windows, because it lacks features I want.
What I'm trying to say: different needs, different use cases, different tastes. Sorry that my original rant came off so negatively to you and that I wasn't able to convey this point I was trying to make.

Dropping GNOME's X11 session approved for Fedora 41
You can run remote applications with Wayland now: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterp...
There is also a VNC server for fullscreen sessions (only supports wlroots compositors for now): https://github.com/any1/wayvnc

Is my use case with X.org possible with Wayland?
There's wayvnc.

Asahi Linux To Users: Please Stop Using X.Org
It says on their GitHub page that "Gnome, KDE, and Weston are not supported". What does that mean?
-
What kind of applications are missing from the Linux ecosystem?
I thought this existed in the form of wayvnc but from their README it seems they don't support the popular desktop environments (GNOME, KDE).
-
What are my options for remote desktop software on wayland?
Not sure if I would call it hassle free, but wayvnc isn't that hard to set up.
-
When do you think you will switch to Wayland?
And wayvnc

Can I run Sway via remote desktop on a Linode server running arch?
There is however a fresh issue on the wayvnc github with what looks like your problem. https://github.com/any1/wayvnc/issues/206

Use a laptop as a 2nd display on Linux using FreeRDP
On wayvnc git master and sway 1.8 (or git master), you can script things so that a "virtual" display gets created automatically when someone connects to VNC, and removed when they disconnect.
See https://github.com/any1/wayvnc/pull/200/files
The script in the PR does something a bit different, but it's only an example and can be modified to do what I described in the first paragraph.

Intel is using DXVK for their Windows Arc GPU DX9 drivers
No - it's not X, it's doesn't share a screen in the way X does.
That said... if this is a shoddy attempt at a "gotcha" style question - Screen sharing and remote desktop are both supported.
Ex - for Gnome:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Mutter/RemoteDesktop
LibVNCServer for VNC support, FreeRDP for remote desktop protocol.
For KDE:
https://userbase.kde.org/Krfb
Which mostly just works as long as you have Pipewire and xdg-desktop-portal-kde installed (the base plasma-wayland session usually includes them)
This one is a bit less polished - some users still have problems with keyboard input, depending on the distro and other installed packages.
For Sway:
xdg-desktop-portal-wlr works just fine for screen sharing, and you can use https://github.com/any1/wayvnc for VNC access (including having a completely headless machine).
