From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

more evidence that "modern" just means "written in javascript"

Also, over 1400 open issues feels like a lot.

Sheesh, I thought it looked nice, but I think I'll just stick to gnome-terminal.

Lol for the longest time I thought gnome shell terminal was the same as gnome terminal

[–] addie@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah; if Gnome terminal had slightly better tab configuration it would be all the terminal I'd ever need, I think. Using it as an IDE (couple of Vim / YouCompleteMe tabs, a build tab, a unit test tab) is a bit of a finger twister to flip between.

Issues on Github consist not only of bug reports, for example, but also of feature requests. If, for example, you only display issues with the label "Enhancement" at https://github.com/Eugeny/tabby, there are already over 300 of them. In addition, I have made the experience that often reported issues arise from Layer 8 problems. And that some issues, unfortunately, are not closed when they are outdated. Generally speaking and not related to this terminal emulator.

By the way, according to https://github.com/vim/vim/issues, the editor vim has over 1,300 issues. Also in this case, not all of them are actual problems that need to be fixed.
