This post will be short and sweet. I had heard about Ghostty already before it publicly made a 1.0 release. Sometimes at first you cannot quite understand or grasp why something should be an improvement or what the purpose of something is or what it is trying to solve.
Docker, Rust, WASM, and many other things are on that list for me. Some I have figured out, some maybe not yet really.
Well the big selling point that Ghostty has is it is fast, feature rich and native. That last part is really important. Kitty is sort of native, but not when it concerns it tabs for instance. They are a non-native widget.
This means that if you install Ghostty on Windows, Linux and MacOS you can re-use your configuration and get the same experience.
So I am switching to Ghostty with everything. On a side-note I am still debating if using tmux improves my flow or not.
I decided on making a useless side project. The reason? I needed a win and a distraction and it is just something that bubbles up every once in a while.
I recently installed Windows 8, and then Windows 8.1. I never really had it as a daily driver and so I really never interacted with it. By the time it came out I had switched to Ubuntu.
