From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I tried Wezterm and it's not bad, but I had a bit of trouble configuring it and it seems a bit heavy to me. Recently, in order to use certain applications, I was forced to abandon alacritty and switch to kitty, and I must say I really like it. The tabs are not very useful to me since I use a tiling window manager and tmux, but it has a lot of interesting features and is really easy to configure. I didn't remember it being so well done. Although alacritty seems to me to be the best due to its simplicity and minimalism. Just my humble opinion.
