CachyOS is great, much better than Bazzite or Nobara IMO. Been daily driving it on my gaming rig with an NVIDIA GPU for ~9mo. Great performamce, no complaints.

Oooh, ouch looks really neat! May actually cause me to retire my extract function. It suddenly feels a little incomplete by comparison, lol.

# Extract any archive
extract() {
        if [ -f "$1" ]; then
                case $1 in
                *.tar.bz2) tar xjf "$1" ;;
                *.tar.gz) tar xzf "$1" ;;
                *.bz2) bunzip2 "$1" ;;
                *.rar) unrar x "$1" ;;
                *.gz) gunzip "$1" ;;
                *.tar) tar xf "$1" ;;
                *.tbz2) tar xjf "$1" ;;
                *.tgz) tar xzf "$1" ;;
                *.zip) unzip "$1" ;;
                *.Z) uncompress "$1" ;;
                *.7z) 7z x "$1" ;;
                *) echo "'$1' cannot be extracted via extract()" ;;
                esac
        else
                echo "'$1' is not a valid file"

Wow - you've certainly got a unique perspective on the situation, and I'm grateful that you took the time to share it. Thank you. It's fascinating to hear from someone who actually worked with the guy.

I can relate to both the Linux struggle and your "I get their PoV but disagree" reaction. Had the same feeling when Kitty's creator dismissed multiplexers as "a hack" - as a longtime tmux user, that stung. Great tool, but that philosophy never sat right with me. I bounced between most of the more popular terminals for years (Wezterm rocks but has performance issues, Kitty never felt quite right) so I was eager for Ghostty to drop. So far it's delivered on what I was hoping for (despite needing a minor tweak or two out of the box).

I'm glad you found my last response so helpful. Sounds like exploring alternatives worked out well for you in the end, which is what matters. Cheers. :)

That's fair, I get the frustration.

I guess I've been cutting Mitchell some slack since this is a passion project for him - his goal was to build the modern terminal he always wanted, so an opinionated feature set was always expected. And, new terminals with actual new features need their own terminfo entries, it just comes with the territory. It'll sort itself out as the databases catch up.

For now, though, you don't need to address this on an individual host level. I'm in the same boat at work with thousands of servers. If you want to give Ghostty another shot, this wrapper handles the issue automatically, even for servers where AcceptEnv doesn't include TERM or where SetEnv is disabled:

ssh() {
    if [[ "$TERM" == "xterm-ghostty" ]]; then
        TERM=xterm-256color command ssh "$@"
    else
        command ssh "$@"
    fi
}

Just drop it in your .bashrc (or functions.sh if you rock a modular setup) and SSH connections will auto-switch to compatible terminfo while keeping your local session full-featured. Best of both worlds. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just gotta adjust your TERM value. You can do it per host in your ssh config, if you don't wanna set it globally. SetEnv TERM=xterm-256color

I'd recommend using OpenTofu (Terraform) for initial provisioning of VMs and then use Ansible for post-provisioning config & management. That way you're letting both tools play to their strengths.
