If you want Alacritty with tabs, COSMIC Term uses libalacritty, so you get the same performance, but with tabs (among other things).

Perhaps that’s true. Although, I think that should be tested because I’m a little unsure since pipes are just the stdout of one command being used as the stdin of the following command. There’s still some output, even if you don’t see it.

In any case, find has many uses, many of which will print data to the screen, and find is far from the only use case in which this would be apparent. There are tons of situations in which you’re going to have to work with large amounts of stdout/stderr, and having a GPU-accelerated terminal will be much faster in all of those situations.

For those that are, for some reason, incredulous of having more performant software (???), here’s a simple program to demonstrate the point:

use std::{
    fs::File,
    io::{BufWriter, Write},
};

fn main() {
    let buf = File::create("/dev/stdout").unwrap();
    let mut w = BufWriter::new(buf);
    let mut i = 0;

    while i <= 100000 {
        writeln!(&mut w, "{}", i).unwrap();
        i += 1;
    }
}

It simply prints the numbers 0-100000 to the screen. Compile it (rustc path-to-file). Run it in a non-accelerated terminal with time ./path-to-bin. Now time that same binary in a terminal emulator with GPU-acceleration.

The difference becomes more apparent with more text. Now, imagine needing to use something like find on a large set of files. Doing this on a non-accelerated terminal is literally slower.

It’s fine if you don’t need a GPU-accelerated terminal, but having acceleration is genuinely useful and a noticeable quality-of-life improvement if you do anything more than just basic CLI usage.

They would still have disproportionate control over web standards. They should not be allowed to keep Chrome/Chromium under any circumstances.

Flood it with nonsense questions asked by shitty synthesized voices from the 90’s.

I’ve been running fish from the development branch for about a year, and I’m happy to say that nothing about it feels like it’s beta. It’s rock-solid (IMO) and my favorite shell 🐟

Can you just fucking render the graphics as they were made?

I’ve been using Managarr ever since you shared it here, and it’s awesome!

Nah. Tankies are wrong, but they’re also powerless. Conservatives actually have power though, and are extremely dangerous.

Yeah. I haven’t looked at the code that closely, but it looks like they account for various differences between distros.

lol. I don’t like systemd, but this is just a modified version of the GNU/Linux copypasta. It’s just a light-hearted jab at the fact that systemd does so many things on Linux systems that it’s almost as important as the kernel and GNU utils.

I don’t actually know much about Poettering, so not much to say in that regard.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as systemd, is in fact, systemd/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, systemd plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning systemd system made useful by the systemd services, journald and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by Poettering.

Many computer users run a modified version of systemd every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of systemd which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the systemd init service, developed by Lennart Poettering.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete init system. Linux is normally used in combination with systemd: the whole system is basically systemd with Linux added, or systemd/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of systemd/Linux!

I’m afraid to update ever since they removed the collapsed tab sidebar option, which was the entire reason I used Zen. To be fair, the dev brought it back after people complained, so they listened, but the fear remains 😬

Unfortunately, no, but you can get kind of close for Debian distros with LURE.

EDIT: Apparently LURE is supposed to be distro-agnostic, so it’d probably work for EL too.

Arch really does have the most straightforward packaging system. Can you write a Bash script? Cool. You can package your application for Arch very easily.

I just hate snaps because they’re dogshit and don’t fucking work.

I made the unfortunate mistake of doing sudo apt install docker dotnet -y on a dev machine, thinking that I was going to get correctly packaged deb installations of those two tools.

After about two hours of having neither fucking tool work, I found that Canonical highjacked the deb installation with their shitty snap packages, which didn’t fucking work thanks to the shit sandboxing that snap tries to do.

Don’t fucking waste your time with Ubuntu. It’s an actual liability.

I really hope South Korea does the right thing and puts their tyrant under the jail (figuratively speaking, of course).

I just desperately want more new games like Crash, Spyro, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, etc. 😭

The only thing we’ve gotten in the decades since then was A Hat in Time, which was absolutely terrific, but the lack of other good games in this genre pretty much killed gaming as a hobby for me.

Perhaps Kent could maybe follow the contributing guidelines instead of being an obstinate child???
