WM: Niri

Terminal: doom emacs

email: doom emacs

file manager: doom emacs

ide: doom emacs

panel: waybar

so I was playing around with Doom Emacs today and I realized "why am I still using a terminal emulator?" with some tweeks I'm able to get pretty much everything other than gaming and web browsing running through doom. I use Aerc for email, Dirvish for file management, vterm for my terminal, all within doom emacs. I don't have a terminal installed anymore.

vterm for my terminal, all within doom emacs.

Hah, didn't know about vterm, just term.

investigates

On one hand, vterm appears to support 24-bit color.

On the other hand, eat


another emacs-based terminal emulator


appears to support Sixel.

Definitely hot competition among emacs terminal emulator programs.

$ git clone https://github.com/csdvrx/sixel-testsuite.git
$ cd sixel-testsuite

This is running terminal-only emacs in foot (which supports both Sixel and 24-bit color), with a vterm buffer and an eat buffer:
