As someone’s new comments just brought me back to this post, I’ll point out that these days there’s another good option: uv run.

If you choose to give Fedora a try, I recommend Ultramarine, which has more set up from the start, including their “Terrs” repository with more updated packages.

Ah yes you can tell by the post title:

best linux terminal emulator

Oh, is that #4948?

For me: Wezterm. It does pretty much everything. I don’t think Alacritty/Kitty etc. offer anything over it for my usage, and the developer is a pleasure to engage with.

Second place is Konsole – it does a lot, is easy to configure, and obviously integrates nicely with KDE apps.

Honorable mention is Extraterm, which has been working on cool features for a long time, and is now Qt based.

Just note that the comment was inaccurate, in that their weird encryption is indeed open source at least.

I suggest trying this one for Zsh, over the more common one: https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlighting

As someone else said, setting less’ jump value is helpful.

Another tool I use, mostly for the zshall manpage, is https://github.com/kristopolous/mansnip

I have a pip-tools wrapper thing that now optionally uses uv instead. Aside from doing the pip-tools things faster, the main advantage I’ve found, and what really motivated me to support and recommend uv with it, is that uv creates new venvs MUCH faster than python’s venv module, which is really annoyingly slow for that operation.

I use my own Zsh project (zpy) to manage venvs stored like ~/.local/share/venvs/HASH-OF-PROJECT-PATH/venv, so use zpy’s vpy function to launch a script with its associated Python executable ad-hoc, or add a full path shebang to the script with zpy’s vpyshebang function.

vpy and vpyshebang in the docs

If anyone else is a Zsh fan and has any questions, I’m more than happy to answer or demo.

Glad you have it working. This may also work:

_stfu () {
  shift words
  (( CURRENT-=1 ))
  _normal -P
}
compdef _stfu stfu

For Arch, you may like a project called aconfmgr.

I have a hard time getting into a distro describing itself with a completely non-communicative “word” like “dragonized” but with numbers instead of letters. I thought it was cool when they provided a bunch of different desktops for live images (like wayfire), but they cut down on those.

Did you find Chakra to add anything to the Arch experience? I worry that it might be “like Arch, but maybe some non-Qt stuff won’t work.”

If you give CachyOS a try please report back! To me that’s the most interesting Arch-topper right now.
