Both iTerm and Tilix are nice but once I tried Kitty I never looked back. Cross platform, too. https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty
I'm really happy with alacritty https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/ , blazingly fast and if you're happy with living inside a terminal multiplexer it's really a good experience

#82Nice. 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.

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…

I think you’re severely underestimating what iTerm can do.
Can you share some examples that are unique to iTerm2?
* You can set a color for each tab, so you instantaneously target the good ones
* You have an history replay
* Picture integration. Useful to visualize data from sql query in my psql shell
* And some others I forgot.
I hope that more and more, there will be linux's native alternatives when I'll switch the day after the hypothetical death of my late 2011 macbook

#87I think there's been a notable upsurge in interest though, so I expect good things to happen with it this year.

On the other hand, it's a bit weird that Darling requires a kernel module. Given the name (darling-mach) I guess it's doing something to make Linux look more like XNU, but it's surprising that the Darling team has to do that within Linux itself (given that Wine is apparently able to make Linux look like NT in userspace).
Not sure it's the underlying reason, but for a long while Go would use raw syscalls on Darwin, which is something that Windows has explicitly sabotaged for ages. It's a lot easier to trap a library call from userspace than a syscall.

Their Linux kernel module does seem to be XNU based, but it feels like poor design / a rushed job to run it as a Linux kernel module instead of isolating it in userspace.
