> I know that iterm2 is a popular choice but it doesn’t have fontfallback which makes it garbage
iTerm2 is my daily driver; so I’m astonished to learn that it’s “garbage.” Maybe it’s just a rhetorical shortcut meant to catch the attention of readers; but why not just say that it doesn’t meet his usage needs?
Haven’t read the article yet, but no it’s not garbage. There’s literally not a single terminal app on linux that remotely comes close to it. ITerm2 is extremely flexible & powerful & well designed. I used to get beachballs w/ it though & I think that went away as I went from using tons of tabs to just 1-4 & tmux for the rest.
Closest I’ve come on linux is xfce4-terminal w/ devilspie2 to fill the gaps.
