So st was doing some frustrating things that I couldn’t be bothered to investigate to fix and in the mean time I have installed and have been using Kitty.
It’s nice, I like it. Anyone else use it? Any thoughts?
never tried it…
AFAIK @nwg swears alacritty is the best thing to use on anything wayland based
I really like xfce4-terminal for x11 setups. To me it’s what termite should be and is in between the vte and suckless/xresources world.
Nop, still on my old Sakura on my side.
Heard about Kitty here in the forum but never tried it.
I used it for a bit, its nice but I wasnt a fan of some of the configuration and the developer is pretty self centered. Ultimately I just stick with xfce4-terminal because I’m lazy and it just works and has the features I use
It’s pretty nice — loads of options and the text rendering is bang-on, even for the usually troublesome alsamixer bars & lines.
The only problem I can see is the memory usage:
32.5 MiB + 6.9 MiB = 39.5 MiB kitty
7.2 MiB + 1.3 MiB = 8.5 MiB x-terminal-emul
^ That’s from my Debian buster box, the second line is for xterm.
I use it every now and then. If you like using dwm (tilers in general) the tiling layouts feature is good. I haven’t power used it beyond that though.
Hoas is right though, resource hungry and needs a newer GPU - my older HP won’t run it or alacrity. Have to stick with urxvt+tmux on that laptop.
Kitty is also recommended. Personally I prefer Alacritty, even if it sucks on X11. Who cares of X Windows?
