Show HN: Sixel-tmux displays graphics even if your terminal has no Sixel support
OP, your rants are pretty subjective and imo come from a place of windows fanboy-ism (before someone reports this comment for flame baiting, go read both of OP&#x27;s rants in the repo, they&#x27;re far worse).<p>I came to Linux last year, and I&#x27;ve been on it 100% no windows during this entire period.<p>I&#x27;m using Sway (Wayland), a DE (well, really just a window manager) you cannot replicate in the windows graphical environment, and I&#x27;d never go back. Everything is so smooth, and of course you may say that it&#x27;s &quot;because vsync is used in Sway and vsync = bad blah blah&quot;, but I&#x27;ve never agreed with that and a good implementation of vsync with minimal latency increases is worth it, especially paired with freesync&#x2F;adaptive sync (which works on the desktop just as it does in Windows).<p>Fyi, before my Linux days, I was a very competitive gamer, and absolute windows power user. I went out of my way to get every last bit of performance and latency reduction possible (just so you know where I&#x27;m coming from).<p>My terminal emulator is Foot, a wayland native terminal with a focus on TUI performance, especially in TUI editors like (neo)vim (my editor of choice). It has amazing Sixel support with a developer who goes out of his way to fix even the smallest imperfections with the implementation. Foot has features I really love, like link following by keyboard shortcuts, great font fallback customisation, and no bloat (a feature in my book)<p>My multi-resolution setup is not impacted by Linux because Sway, and Wayland ecosystem in general, handles multi resolution tremendously, and supports integer and fractional scaling per display. Multi display freesync&#x2F;adaptive-sync (and gsync whenever Nvidia starts playing ball) works great too, just as it does on windows.<p>The majority of stuff you complain about is due to crusty old X11 (whether you&#x27;re stuck on X because of nvidia or not, it&#x27;s not a fair argument). Or because you think the way Windows does something is better than the way Linux does that thing (even though in most cases I think the opposite, clearly a subjective thing).<p>Oh, and yea I think Windows sucks and Linux does &lt;insert&gt; better. But I&#x27;m saying that as a zoomer, not a &quot;geek millennial&quot; (as you said in your rant) :)
