I personally want something more minimal.

4·12 days agoWhat are the main things Wezterm does better than Kitty, in your opinion? Back when I looked at trying a different terminal I was just not convinced there’s that much of a difference between say Kitty and the other hyped ones.
That being said, back then I didn’t need any of this session stuff and multiplexing as I used ZelliJ.

Yeah I noticed the main AUR package was last updated in June 2024. Thought they abandoned it but the GitHub shows the last release was around the same time. Downloaded sioyek-git instead and it works great.
I think I’m sticking with Sioyek. It checks enough boxes for what I need from a pdf viewer. Well documented, no performance issues, and it supports epub too.
The command line tools, portals, ruler for reading, keyboard text selection, searchable highlights, easy file opening, marking. Really vim-like. Need to customize some keybinds but otherwise don’t see a reason to look elsewhere for now.
