Forgot to mention the BSDs. Yeah, I agree, FreeBSD is more easily suited for that, and the package repositories are excellent. Actually, they might be the best that I have ever seen.

Also, I don't use Alacritty because of Rust. I did try Kitty. Originally I thought that it was unusable because of the startup time, but the -1 option takes care of that, makes every instance share the same process so it's faster and the RAM usage becomes not too bad.

If I really do (somewhat) permanently integrate tmux into my setup, though, I may just use unpatched st, because tmux does so much that that's enough. Could just use xterm, but I actually have somehow crashed xterm a few times lately.
