I did a new Ubuntu 24 install tonight and decided to try this out. I like it a lot for the most part as a place to get started but still need to make some tweaks.
I had not used Tactile for tiling before but I like it.
Alacrity is new to me and I don’t really get the preference for it, but no big deal.
Zellij is interesting and I feel like I just need a day to get use to it.
Mise is an interesting switch from asdf and direnv, but it seems really polished.
I like what I see enough that I’m going to stick with it for a month or so to see how it grows on me. I’ve spent enough time tweaking Linux installs in the past that sensible defaults that I don’t have to maintain have some appeal.
- bboygravity 2y agoAlacritty is all about being the fastest CLI, with that in mind you might appreciate it more. You'll mostly notice it while typing and receiving long length output on the CLI.
- brightball 2y agoWith this setup it doesn’t have a window frame so you can’t drag it around with your mouse. You have to use Tactile to position the window, but because of that you can’t easily move it to another monitor. Probably my biggest default complaint.
- harblcat 2y agoFYI, if you hold down Super (win key) and left click-drag, you can move the window around on the screen, and middle click-drag can be used to resize.
- carodgers 2y ago+1 for Alacritty! I've been using it 4 months now and am quite happy with it. I made the switch after I found my default Pop!_OS terminal had some noticeable latency issues.
