812 - ¿La terminal más espectacular de Linux? La he probado y tengo un dilema

If you thought everything had already been invented in the world of terminals and that there was no room for surprises, let me tell you, you're very wrong. I thought so too, honestly. In my constant search for the ideal tool, I've gone through Alacritty, WezTerm, my beloved Kitty, and recently, I was giving Ghostty a golden chance... until I ran into a minor but significant problem with accented characters that forced me to temporarily return to Kitty. But curiosity never rests, and when a project called Wave fell into my hands, I knew I had to try it thoroughly. Is it a terminal? Is it a browser? Is it a development environment? It's all of those things at once, structured in a way that will blow your mind! A Change of Concept: The Block-Based Terminal Wave isn't trying to compete directly in the league of ultra-lightweight and minimalist terminals. What it proposes is a complete paradigm shift. Instead of the classic black window where you type commands and watch thousands of lines of unmanageable plain text scroll by, Wave offers a canvas or workspace organized by independent "blocks" or widgets. What does this mean in everyday use? It means you can have different tools coexisting natively in the same interface, without having to constantly open and close operating system windows or struggle with complex key combinations on a traditional multiplexer. Everything is visually organized into blocks that you can resize, collapse, or move as you wish. The 5 Types of Blocks That Change Everything To understand the potential of this work environment, we need to understand what we can put inside this interactive canvas. Wave features five fundamental block types: 1. Terminal Blocks 2. File Viewer Blocks 3. Web Blocks 4. Code Editor Blocks 5. Artificial Intelligence Blocks The Power of Layouts: Design Your Ideal Workspace One of the things that has excited me most about Wave is its layout management. Often, when we're at the computer, we constantly switch roles. Sometimes we're programming, other times managing remote servers, and other times writing documentation. Durable SSH: Indestructible Connections That Survive Everything If you're someone who spends their day managing remote servers, this feature will seem out of this world. A classic SSH connection is typically very fragile. If you close your laptop lid to move to another room, if your Wi-Fi network experiences a brief dropout, or if you switch from your home connection to your phone's mobile data network, the session simply dies. You lose your history, context, and any processes you had running in the foreground. Wave solves this problem at its root with its Durable SSH technology. Local Artificial Intelligence and Limitless Extensibility Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and here it's brilliantly integrated. Why Do I Still Stick with My Usual Terminal? After praising this spectacular tool so much, you might ask yourself: "Lorenzo, if it's so good, why do you still use Kitty?" The answer boils down to its lightweight design and purely keyboard-based workflow. For my daily use, where I combine Kitty with ultra-fast file managers like Yazi, I prefer millisecond response times and minimal resource consumption. Even so, I find Wave to be a bold and revolutionary proposition, and a real treat for anyone looking for an integrated and visually flawless work environment without complications. --- Episode Chapters: 00:00:00 The Terminal Dilemma: From Kitty to Ghostty and Wave 00:02:11 What is Wave?
