Do my eyes deceive me? O.o What trickery is this?! If I can run iTerm2 on Linux… snap. Um, I would seriously consider switching entirely over to Linux. My killer apps that make it hard for me to switch: - iTerm2 (must-have) - OmniGraffle (really nice, but not critical I guess) - Little Snitch (I understand there are alternatives, but LS is so nice!) - MoneyWell (budgeting—haven't found anything better) If anyone has…

iTerm2 is is the main thing holding you back? Give tilix a try and you will forget all about iTerm2

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 linux as your daily driver

- no longer at the mercy of one company potentially removing x86 for ARM because it benefits them not you https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/27/21196611/arm-macbook-desk...

This has been around at least since 2015 ive been watching it a bit good to see it's getting some work

I've been wanting to get it to execute the bonjour conformance test on linux so I can do CI of Avahi against it. I didn't have any luck last time might be worth a look again.

I'd add:

- being permitted to choose your own hardware. And even (heaven forfend) repair it.

Both iTerm and Tilix are nice but once I tried Kitty I never looked back. Cross platform, too.

OpenSnitch looks promising. https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch

Tilix is very much like iTerm2. Simple to use too.

I'd love to know (of popular software) what works well, and what doesn't. Is there such a list?

And most importantly (to me), does Adobe Lightroom, Premiere and Photoshop run under this? Frankly, those are about the last pieces of desktop software that prevent me to switch to Linux.

this is a very very experimental piece of software, where they are happy to run some terminal apps.

So sorry, no
