You could also sponsor Filelight, a utility that allows you to visually monitor usage of the storage on your computer:

Or choose Konsole! KDE's classic terminal emulator that has dozens of tricks up its sleeve that make working on the command line easy, fun and productive:

@[email protected] @[email protected] love it
Why should I use Konsole instead of another terminal Emulator?
As in what are the differences? Or what does Konsole do better or different?
The video linked above answers a some of those questions. It is only 40 seconds long.
@[email protected] @[email protected] I love Konsole and all its features but the missing GPU acceleration is a blocker for me 😢 https://bugs.kde.org/show/_bug.cgi?id=411579
@phasslr @[email protected] @[email protected] Is text rendering too slow though? I don't notice any difference between Konsole and Wezterm, which uses OpenGL, and I use neovim with tons of bells and whistles.
Maybe running a terminal benchmark would give us some data to discuss. I did it some time ago, but I can't find the results right now (I'm on a plane).
@codewiz @[email protected] @[email protected] I exclusively used Konsole for several months but after trying out Kitty I wasn't able to go back anymore. It is noticeable for me in neovim but really hard to pin down what makes it 'feel better'. Any suggestions for real-life-like benchmarks?
@phasslr @[email protected] @[email protected] Found my benchmark results, but I didn't test Kitty:

@[email protected] @[email protected] Filelight is soo useful! <3
@[email protected] @[email protected] its useful, but it feels much worse than it was before...looks like so many useless operations, no caching, and actually less readable graph
