As someone who is relatively new to the scene, I love seeing this sort of content from a name I trust. The difference between terminals is unclear to me right now, so I enjoy hearing what YOU look for in a terminal. It would be awesome to hear your thought process when picking different things as well. Keep it up!
As for a terminal without needing Tmux, I use Kitty and the functionality is not identical to Tmux, but it gives me enough control over windows and panes that I don't feel that I need anything else. It's been super great to me and the config system is pretty good too
Signal! Love this content. Keep it up Prime. Alway stoked when you post or stream because I seem to always learn something new. Keeps me invigorated about my job. I'll show folks at my school your stuff because I want them to see how fun tech and programming can be.
"I'd love to use a terminal where I don't have to use tmux" Wow, honestly didn't expect that. Expected more of "If I can't use tmux in a terminal, that terminal isn't for me" 🙂
@@matiasbpg well that's the point, neither can prime, he even said it's a deal breaker, but if the terminal includes the tmux features that would change everything
@@farzadmf the thing is, I wouldnt change tmux even if a terminal had session management. Tmux can be used on any terminal and the scripting and config is consistent.
@@matiasbpg nope… tmux cant be used on windows! Wezterm can! So you can just set all tmux bindings to be the same and now you won’t have to pick up new muscle memory.
Man you're so enthusiastic about these stuff it's just hard not to enjoy your content, you're that one cool teacher we all miss, except you're here and now. You made me cry out of laughter by reacting to me saying "5 dollars a month" a couple times. This video was brief but fully loaded with information, straight to the point, leaves you with ideas in mind to actually go and look the repo yourself.
@@lmnts556 Zig isn't meant to be a high-level language, and that's fine. It's "just" an improved C. You won't get the same conciseness and expressivity you'd get from high-level languages.
Definitely do more content like this. This is the primary way for I would safely assume like 90% of people to learn about new stuff. Almost all of the stuff I use on a daily basis is stuff I watched a short
I'd love to see more videos of you talking about tech. I respect you as a programmer and a person, so hearing your take give me the confidence that is a valuable and sincere opinion
I would really like for you to do more videos like this where you just quickly talk about a cool program or tool you are using or have found. I'm not like super interested in a lot of the industry happenings, react style videos, but every time you make one of these kinds of videos I love it. I find that learning about new software options really helps to keep my drive going.
both wezterm and konsole have ctrl+shift+t for new tab and ctrl-tab for next tab, that is all I need instead of tmux, also ctrl+shift+n for term in new window. the ctrl tab keybinding mixes well with alt tab of most window managers, the main reason I use this solution is there is it is default
I'm a fan of when you do stuff like this. I value your opinion, and all due respect to the other brilliant programming/dev UA-camrs out there. However, many who make content such as yours just lack the depth and foresight someone like yourself has. I think you err on the side of caution when it comes to new things, which is always a valuable perspective from a well versed person. That said, I think this video would benefit from a comparison with the alternatives. In this case, the terminal emulator you normally use. While I agree that easy configuration and good documentation are great. It would be helpful if you directly showed the differences between your regular terminal and Ghostty. That way we can see how it's better in a direct, side by side comparison. Thanks, Prime.
Id love to see more like this. Youre one of the creators i watch and although a 45 minute interview can be nice as background noise, I do prefef this kind of content along the lines of "hey, check this nice thing". Especially since I dont really get to interact with the IT world alot outside of memes
@@Jabberwockybird I can understand this if the streamer is obnoxious, but theprimeagen is an all round likeable guy and clicking like is the least we could do to support him.
@@Antero94 I watch prime a lot. He is a nice guy, but I still am not going to let him off the hook for like begging. There's another youtuber who at the end of his videos askes if you would leave a comment for the algorithm. (And it's a language learning channel, so it helps with the re-enforcement) I help for that. But it's not cliched. Like begging is cliched,
you can totally have all of those thing that keep you bound to tmux. configured through lua, can extend the terminal directly with rust, crossterm is a very neat crossplatform collection of tools that wez also uses. was a while I reconfigured, but I do understand why it might look like a lot at first. the docs are great. also wez furlong is like the nicest person and Im kinda amazed at how he when pumping so this much code still find time to maintain the repo the way he does, personally helping some with issues an so..
Signal. I originally found your channel looking for vim content that would show me new things to explore and maybe add to my workflow. These explorations are valuable just to see the kinds of options that exist across the toolbox... Useful since I'll never try them all myself; there's problems that need solving and code that needs writing!
Sure, this kind of content is nice, keep at it! I would have loved to see how ghostty performs, by running notcurses-demo, for starters. Thanks for keeping it alive, OptimusPrim! (that’s a new one, I think ;-P)
I've got two main requirements from a modern terminal: speed and font rendering quality (don't care about ligatures). The second criterion excludes Kitty (unlikeable dev too). The icing on the cake is image rendering, and on that front I'd like to see terminals stick to a standard: Though I like ueberzug, it's still a hack. I like and use Wezterm, but it just doesn't replace Tmux, othewise I'd have to add Wez as a strong dependency of my flow. I choose (terminal) promiscuity!
It's times like this that I wish I was someone with name recognition in the industry. I'm dying to try out ghostty, but I have to wait until December to do so.
Signal to do more of this. I like using the like button solely for music content because it's like adding it to my playlist with one click. If I always liked everything I like then I would have to click like 2 more times to put music in a music playlist and that's a lot of commitment.
Signal to do more of this content as it fits my daily routine perfectly! I use your videos to wake up my brain for work. My next step is should be to fix things that were slightly annoying the days before as these things are less critical then the production code I write after 9:00. That said, I want to give you an ENORMOUS thank you for making videos with your lovely energising voice. Having a healthy sleeping pattern is hard if your job is to stare at a screen during working hours. Because we have creators like you, It is way easier for us to maintain a healthy routine. (Also, you need to remind me to like your videos, as my brain has not yet started completely)
I'm using kitty, which has the multuplexer part but it doesn't have the sessionizer part. And I kinda don't know what to do since I already use kitty's tabs and would like not to have a separate layer of tmux tabs
Wezterm IS that terminal. I use it on all 3 OSes and don’t have to rely on tmux. I just set the same tmux bindings on Wezterm so that if I have to use tmux it won’t be foreign
I don't want a terminal emulator that doesn't require tmux. the problem is that then my workflow becomes tied to the terminal emulator. I have a few situations where I got too tied to a particular application's extra tools (ie things normally not tied to that sort of application) and every time I've regretted it, and ended up using the application far too long (ie after support for it dwindled, or after generally-better options became available). A modular system il a resilient system. My ideal terminal emulator is the same as my ideal windshield - one that I don't even think about existing, one that simply doesn't get in the way of the thing behind it. I don't want it to have features except insofar as it's a feature to not be in the way (eg true color support being a feature compared to 16 color, a thing that gets in the way of showing all the colors my graphics card / monitor can show).
If I had three wishes, I would wish for infinite money, 200 german shepards, and you making more videos like these. You're like Midas but instead of turning everything you touch into gold, you turn everything you touch into a pretty damn entertaining video.
Loved the video. Been using ghostty since April of this year and love it. Admittedly, my setup is fairly simply though; just Neovim, kickstart, and telescope. 🙂

I don't quite understand why st + abducto + dtwm + scroll isn't what everyone uses, but I guess everyone is different. Personally, sometimes I don't need session management, sometimes I don't need multiterminal, and being able not to use it is important for me. Simple tools with integration for another simple tools is better than one big tool.
