From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The main advantages I have felt with fancy terminals are
Launches faster sounds like you have a weird shell config.
Also scrolling isn't really existing in a terminal. If you are
tail -f somefilethen it depends on how fast it is written to, how fast tail is. If you have some TUI tool open it dependa how fast it can emit it's UI.If your program only emits 100MB data each seconds then a terminal sink of 30GB/s wouldn't really benefit.
Power users like me run a terminal multiplexer anyways so there is another bottleneck.
And the configuration is onetime only (if the terminal configuration will be downward compatible with a version 10 years from now).
