    I did find that XFCE’s terminal emulator was pretty slow, so I installed Alacritty - a lightweight terminal written in Rust.

    I personally love using Alacritty. Super fast, and no bloat. Takes a little bit of setup such as setting up a Font if you want icons to appear. Kitty is supposed to be really good, but i've never used it before.

  • Warp? A terminal behind login popup

    My journey of using terminal emulators began together with my introduction to Linux about 7 years ago. GNOME terminal was my first as it came pre-installed on Ubuntu, my first Linux distribution. Since then, I've had the opportunity to explore and utilize a range of terminal emulators, including Alacritty, Kitty, st, Konsole, xterm, and most recently iTerm2. It's been interesting to experiment with these different emulators, each offering its unique features (or similar however with each with personal touch), user interfaces, and performance benchmarks. Just the other day, a new terminal emulator caught my attention: Warp Terminal. My curiosity won, and Warp was downloaded, this short blog are my thoughts about Warp terminal. At the moment there is only support for macOS, however linux and windows builds are on the way.

    > Kitty [graphics protocol] gets more traction.

    I guess that may br true in some senses, but per Nick Black[1] (of Notcurses fame) the set of Kitty graphics implementations consists of Kitty and Wezterm, that’s it.
