Every time I've considered a full-on switch to Linux, the many little tools that I'd have to give up weigh heavily the cons column.
Which tools would you have to give up?
I've found a lot of use from cmd-shift-e, which shows timestamps for each output line in the terminal. Great for figuring out how long a process ran for.
Question. Do you know how to get iTerm2 to open on split into the same directory that it was in like in Terminator on Ubuntu? Currently it always open to home directory whether I do a vertical/horizontal split.
Then for me Cmd+D and Cmd+Shift+D (split with current profile) gives the same current directory.
Tmux can be a pretty complex piece of software, but iTerm can basically wrap it all up into a nice package. You don't need to know anything at all about tmux to use iTerm's tmux integration.
If you're SSHed into a server that has tmux installed, try running `tmux -CC` on the server. It'll pop up a new window that looks and feels just like it's running natively (complete with tab support), except it's all tunneled over SSH.
And if you disconnect, you can just reconnect later and your windows will all come back in the same state as when you left them.
I use this one-liner to SSH into a server and reconnect (or start) a tmux session:
ssh -XY -F user@hostname -Ct \
'sh -l -c "exec tmux -CC -u new-session -AD -s remote"'

I have messed with the colors and text rendering for literal hours over the last ten years and I genuinely cannot get it as clear and readable as Terminal.app which is a big part of the reason I always end up falling back to Terminal

Some of the most obvious things I'd give up: - ability to plug into any monitor at any resolution that monitor supports - ability to copy and paste to/from my phone - Transmit - I really haven't found many good s3 clients on Linux - ScreenFlow - Git Tower Most of these have some sort of a work-around or close analog of course. (So I'd likely not be "giving anything up" as much as compromising or learning new techniqu…
Doesn't xrandr do that?
