I've been a Kitty user for many years, but I bet that Superlogical's Rex is going to take over the world. Currently there is no Linux client available, but I'm sure it'll come later just like how Ghostty was developed macOS first.

This feature seems like interesting timing in light of the above: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/changelog/#restore-after-log...

Whoa, this is great news!! For years, it has been Mr. Goyal’s standpoint, and quite understandably so, to not offer this natively due to implementation effort [0]. I just put up with that (yes, technically, you could save-and-restore window and terminal session states, but that doesn’t help in case of an unexpected quitting/crash event), since the man is already undervalued for all of his incredible work – I urge any user of either Kitty or Calibre to check out [1]!

Same as for you, Kitty has effectively been the only terminal I use for years now, chiefly due to `edit-in-kitty` when ssh’d onto another machine, as well as the image protocol for a full file explorer experience, e.g. Yazi [2]. I’m also in the Rex beta, but until they add that, or an improved version of the protocol (as apparently streaming of too much image data is holding their protocol/performance back at the moment) I unfortunately can’t see myself switching, even though in principle I very much agree with this sentiment:

You think a propriety, not open source, terminal is going to take over Linux desktops? I’m a bit skeptical myself.
