A lot of software doesn't have a GUI, even on macOS?

Apart from the Xcode toolchain, I cannot for the life of me think of a single macOS application that both has no GUI _and_ isn't already cross-platform or a Darwin/BSD version of a tool that already exists on Linux. I'd actually like to know what non-Xcode command line apps you (or anyone else reading this!) is using that explicitly target macOS and nothing else - I've used Macs for only about five years and primaril…

I’d like to hear this too. I also can’t think of anything.

iTerm2 is is the main thing holding you back? Give tilix a try and you will forget all about iTerm2 https://gnunn1.github.io/tilix-web/ Then you can also enjoy: - running containers natively without a clunky VM - KVM virtualization - say goodbye to virtualbox - middle-click paste - sounds odd but is really intuitive - infinite desktop customization - level up your linux skills - nothing does this faster than running…

Thank you for the tilix suggestion! All I ever wanted was a terminal that will rewrite the shell output if you resize the terminal. I hear things about kitty but it’s not an Ubuntu package so ️

It is for me. I've just tried it. As so often unfortunately the package is sufficiently out of date to make installation of the author's prebuilt binary (https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/binary.html) worthwhile.

Both iTerm and Tilix are nice but once I tried Kitty I never looked back. Cross platform, too. https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty

Thanks for the kitty recommendation. I'm going to give it a try for a few days.

If this works with Adobe Creative Cloud, then moving to a Linux distro has suddenly become much more attractive.

Can't you just use the Window version? Adobe CC works fine with Wine.

Does it have pen pressure support already? Last time I checked pen pressure only worked on CS2 and below on wine

Nice.

Off topic, but does anyone know of any good IINA alternatives for Linux? I have not found anything that beats it in terms of polish.

VLC is nice, but IINA does one thing really well, and is based on MPV, with all of its powerful configuration options and nice keybinds.

Can you share some examples that are unique to iTerm2?

I’ll let the website do the talking: https://iterm2.com/features.html . It’s not mentioned there, but iTerm’s has native tmux integration too: I barely know how to use it, but they show up as native tabs and windows that I can drag around and tile as I wish.

There's none.

SMplayer is the one that I use on both Windows and Linux, though it's starting to show its age.
