My local government news. Call me a sheep but since they don’t farm clicks they seem to have the most nuanced and engaging stories. For-profit news these days are just doom-posting and rage bait.

I’m pretty sure someone thought

Man it would be nice if horses were faster

I’d say the same is true for terminal emulators.

It would be neat if I could use tabs

Or

I wish there were better ways to render things to the terminal

At the end of the day it’s a black box where you can type commands. If thats all you need than you need anything else.

A terminal is a terminal. If there is a feature you don’t know you need then you don’t need it. Run with whatever you have

There is still a lot to learn from running arch before you try gentoo

Gentoo is basically arch but built around everything being compiled locally. There isn’t to my knowledge any “Gentoo-install”, but if you can manage to install arch manually it should be quite similar. Gentoo is a bit more complex than arch so if installing gentoo manually seems daunting I would recommend staying on arch.
