Project mention: what terminal emulator would you recommend? | /r/archlinux | 2023-12-11

Like some people here and under this post said, I like Kitty and would recommend it to anyone who uses/used Alacritty, as they are very similar in surface. I actually switch between Alacritty and Kitty pretty often, depending on my "mood". I recently went back to Kitty for image support (through chafa though, for better compatibility across terminal emulators). However, Wayland support is poor and I have some issues with fonts being too bold, although it could just be my config...

  draw images in terminals

Project mention: github.com/srlehn/termimg: draw images in terminals | /r/golang | 2023-07-22

termimg (godoc) (test images) automatically chooses a drawing method that works best for the terminal (in most cases the current one). A Terminal capable of displaying sixel graphics is recommended but not required. Alternative display protocols (iTerm2, kitty, Terminology, DomTerm) or drawing directly into the window/background (X11, GDI+, urxvt) are used. Terminal multiplexers (tmux, screen, ...) are currently only being checked for, later positioning in the panes seems doable (tmux, not screen).
