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.

Welp, I made a similar thread yesterday regarding Manjaro but I decided to swap to Fedora as my daily driver for stability purposes. Unfortunately since fedora is yet another non Debian distro I need help finding a Syncterm replacement.

I'm my previous thread it was pointed out to me that syncterm has a docker option which I can run on Fedora, but I'd prefer running an app locally if possible.

I tried the Syncterm snap package which boots inside bash, but it doesn't have ANSI support (which is the entire point of using Syncterm) since I assume it's simply piggy backing off of bash- hence the 1.5* review on the snap store.

Looking for options.. if anyone can help a Linux noob I'm all ears. I tried Alien to convert deb to rpm and fell on my face.

God damn these replies are braindead

Auto script that builds and installs for both Debian and Fedora.

Unfortunately, no RPMs exist on repos and COPR, which is Fedora's AUR.

spoiler

Although considering the AUR package hasn't been updated since June of last year, I doubt having a COPR build will be beneficial.

Nevertheless, it would be useful to have an available RPM. If I get time, I can submit one to COPR.

Good god, someone who actually read the OP's question and replied with information respondent to it instead of just shrieking "how dare you not use the distro I like" at them. I was starting to think that was banned around here :)

I could kiss you! It worked! Not only was this solution great, but I also learned how to run a bash script and grab dev libraries to execute ncurses and make commands.

Thank you SO much!!
