The combination of #Kitty #terminal emulator and #tmux kinda rocks. Before this I was using #xterm so I had to use multiple instances for local and remote sessions, with kitty I will just use tabs and all things are done with keyboard shortcuts! #FOSS

So still on my #OpenBSD adventure and although I missed images in the terminal be it sixel in xterm or the kitty protocol in kitty, I've decided to stick with good old #Xterm . Also on my #FreeBSD daily driver I'm used to such luxuries as icons in the terminal like font awesome or nerd fonts but even though I could have used alacritty or kitty to achieve this I have decided to for go them. After all what do they do other make it look pretty ? I don't get any other functionality from them and they can easily be replaced with text. You might have noticed too that although I'm a #Wayland chic on my #ThinkPad I've decided to be all nostalgic and stick with Xorg on OpenBSD. I haven't yet settled on a window manager be it tiling or stacking but #HerbstluftWM and #Openbox are in my sights although I'm still using the default #Fvwm right now. I have my Qutebrowser setup and aerc for my email. Printing via cups and xsane for scanning. Looking into nsxiv for an image viewer as the OpenBSD port of imv is well out of date. Yes I'm having to make small changes but once I'm finished this wee Dell Optiplex 3080 tower will be perfect for daily driving OpenBSD and I'm looking forward to learning lots more. #RunBSD

Gave up on #OpenBSD for now as it's too locked down for my liking and I was really wanting to setup #Xorg on the freebie Dell Optiplex 3080 Tower and use #Xterm as my terminal with #Sixel support. So I've installed #FreeBSD and got Xterm running with Sixel support ( graphics in the terminal ). Who's a happy chic that's feeling all nostalgic right now ? That's right moi ! #RunBSD
