For quite a while now, I have relied on terminal into my Windows Subsystem for Linux on my main workstation, as my daily driver. While it works all right for most cases, there are certain compatibility issues that requires a "... in WSL" search term for documentations/issues.
Close to a month now I have been using a #Ubuntu#terminal only VM on my #homelab#Proxmox cluster. For ones who can roll this out, this seems the best approach.
Hey #Linux users of fedi- what #terminal emulator do you use? I'm looking for a QT, Wayland-compatible emulator to use. I don't really like Konsole and I've been having bugs in Tabby, so figured I'd ask here
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.
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/
