![]() Consider it with the fact I have 2 monitors as well. If I'd open a lot of tabs or more windows in vim's pane I would get a very low refresh rate on all terminal emulators. The process of installing is very simple (next, next, and finish. For Unicode and UTF-8 both terminals seem to work exactly the same. But still, what's the difference I don't see any. People in the net say that UXTerm is XTerm with Unicode support. There are the popup menus, and there are the fonts used for uxterm. In my opinion, seems to the best choice for X-Server in Windows. I also know that UXTerm is a wrapper for XTerm (to change a couple of settings). XTerm has more than one widget matching 'font' at different levels of the hierarchy. My test was a tmux session with 6 windows opened while 1 of them had lot of log data printed on it and the other pane had vim opened with 2 internal windows in it. Now with WSL 2 installed, we can download and install VcXsrv. even urxvt doesn't perform much better either (at least with the powerline font). If you are using Ubuntu, you should also have gnome-terminal installed. The main difference between XTerm and Terminal is that the gnome-terminal has more features, while XTerm is minimalistic (though it has features that aret in gnome-terminal, but they are more advanced). By convention, if an option begins with a '+' instead of a '-', the option is restored to its default value. Xtermalso accepts many application- specific options. I thought I would get rid of the annoying flickers in gnome-terminal but xterm doesn't perform a lot better at all. UXTerm is XTerm with support to Unicode characters. Because xtermuses the X Toolkit library, it accepts the standard X Toolkit command line options. I wanted to switch to xterm because I thought it might be more light wight compared to gnome-terminal. When you cygwing-X, use the bash shell that comes up, ssh -Y userremotehost then send as many windows as you need and the type that you need, sending the entire environment which startx does, is resource intensive on the server as well as on the bandwidth and is unnecessary. ![]() I'm still not quite satisfied like I was with gnome-terminal - I can't see some characters like the clock: ⌚ at the bottom of tmux's window. install.sh in the powerline-fonts repo, I had to ln -s ~/.local/share/fonts ~/.fonts and only then xterm was able to see those fonts. In addition, I had to figure out somehow that after running. The difference between Linux and Ubuntu is like the difference between an engine and a vehicle. I thought that if I was able to see the font well with gnome-terminal, I should see it well without installing anything new for xterm. The X Window System has a terminal emulator called xterm. My problem was that I didn't know I have to download the patched fonts from - It fixed the problem. ![]()
