I'm a little jealous of iTerm, not going to lie. The UX is pretty nice from what I've seen, but I can't find a like for like replacement for either Windows or L

  Tilix can be a decent alternative.

    Looks great! Will install it on my Ubuntu VM, cheers :)

  It is something I miss a great deal when on other OSes

  Every time I've considered a full-on switch to Linux, the many little tools that I'd have to give up weigh heavily the cons column.

    Which tools would you have to give up?
    • bdcravens 7y ago
      Some of the most obvious things I'd give up: - ability to plug into any monitor at any resolution that monitor supports - ability to copy and paste to/from my phone - Transmit - I really haven't found many good s3 clients on Linux - ScreenFlow - Git Tower Most of these have some sort of a work-around or close analog of course. (So I'd likely not be "giving anything up" as much as compromising or learning new techniques) However, I'm not sold on the benefits (other than ideological ones, the only thing that comes to mind is increased Docker performance) outweighing the costs. For someone with a different workflow and set of tools, a different conclusion may result.

        > ability to plug into any monitor at any resolution that monitor supports Doesn't xrandr do that?
        • toyg 7y ago
          Problem with xrandr is figuring out how and where to run it automatically.

        Pushbullet (Chrome extension) might work for copy/paste to/from your phone.

          Check out KDE Connect, it's a great piece of software for copy/paste, remote inputs and more. Will even wake your computers up when you walk in the door :)

        Sublime Merge is a pretty good alternative to Git Tower.

      Some applications I would miss: 1Password / Preview / Acorn / Evernote / Skitch / Pingplotter / djay

          While these may do some or all of the apps OP mentioned, the UX of most of them, even from the screenshot seems horrid.

            To each their own, but yes, personally I find the UX of Mac GUI applications to be generally a lot more appealing compared to the alternatives available on Linux.

            These projects were developed by volunteers and are distributed free of charge. No need to be a jerk. Plus if there's something you don't like you can always pull the code, modify what you need and submit a pull request. I use Linux everyday and I prefer a slightly off UI once in a while than having to deal with the frustratingly sluggish performance of macOS.

    You list three proprietary tools. It used to be that hackers put their efforts into developing/maintaining tools like this as open source software.
• pkrumins 7y ago
  Urxvt is a great alternative for Linux!

  DomTerm (https://domterm.org https://domterm.org) has many similar features (https://domterm.org/Features.html https://domterm.org/Features.html) including programmable link handling (https://domterm.org/Tips.html https://domterm.org/Tips.html). It has been tested on Linux, Windows (requires WSL, for now) and MacOS.
