Given the importance placed on CLI usage by many in the Linux community it's weird that a terminal isn't open by default on many Distros. Today I remembered that while on Antergos a few years ago I'd installed a terminal that you could call simply by pressing a hotkey.
Yakuake smoothly drops down from the top of your screen in response to the hotkey (the default is F12) and voila!: a ready to use terminal! Add it to Autostart and it'll run whenever you run a session of Linux, forever saving you having to load Konsole (or whatever) every time you want to use it.
And as I'm running KDE the fact it uses Konsole tech means it has that familiar look and feel, but shows Session tabbing by default foregrounding the ability to run separate terminal sessions and putting it within easy reach of GUI users and a mouse-click.
@Uraael On a #Mac OS desktop I use #iTerm2 and I really wish someone would port that to #Linux, or make a clone of it, because in my opinion it is far better than any native Linux #terminal program I have seen. The best cross-platform terminal app I have found is #Tabby, which has some of iTerm2's functionality (including tabs, if you can't tell from the name) but I still prefer iTerm2, which I have set to automatically restart after a reboot on my Mac.
Nowadays terminals and other text views can get rendered with GPU acceleration support, like the kitty terminal that I use.
🤔 That means we could get bloom, chromatic aberration, distortion, depth of field and other post process effects into our terminals, what are we waiting for?
I’ve just released v0.14.0 of Tinboard, my #Pinboard client for the #Terminal. This release adds the start of an application settings dialog, with the first couple of options letting you set the default value for the "private" and “read-later" state of new bookmarks.
We just released Execa 9, which is our biggest release so far.
If you're currently using Execa, you should check out the new features! Also, if you're currently using zx or Bun shell, you might be interesting in this alternative.
Any good cli/terminal spell checking programmes? Pass in a file, get an terminal interactive “replace this with that / ignore / add to dict.” workflow.
I remember using aspell(1) back in Ye Olden Days. Is that still the best?
I had been meaning to look at using #Ollama for local #AI & today I caught this excellent video how-to. Still not sold on the current hype of AI but it would be foolish to overlook its place in our future.
Honestly, this little project was the most fun I’ve had in a while: installing/using different AI models, using AI in the #terminal, then in a #browser, even creating a persona for the prompts. And it’s all running locally (no internet needed!), so it’s #private. 🤓
Adjusting #corne, #sway, #neovim and various #tui applications for my preferences to be more productive and less mouse dependant. Takes some time but fun and benefitial \o/
On the #Linux#Terminal, is there a way to list all #systemctl issues? For example, show the number of and which #services have issues, the same way cockpit does in the web interface?
