  3. yazi

    💥 Blazing fast terminal file manager written in Rust, based on async I/O.

    This article is dedicated to a terminal-based file manager yazi that is super mega cool, but it’s not available in any of Debian’s repositories - not in Stable, not in Testing, not even in Unstable.

  4. alacritty

    A cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator.

    Terminal emulator Alacritty, for instance. The version in the Debian Stable repo is dated— Alacritty of this version uses a .yml config file, but newer versions have switched to .toml.
