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.

I have to ssh in to arbitrary systems often and Kitty seemed to have compatibility issues, which I still don't grok but plainly can't use
kitty requires its
terminfo
be set properly on the remote host. Its best to use the ssh kitten (I have it aliased), though it's only technically required the first time on any particular box/instance. See this issue in the FAQ: I get errors about the terminal being unknown or opening the terminal failing or functional keys like arrow keys don’t work?I guess my issue is that these are production machines that aren't really meant to be mutated and I'm generally just pulling diagnostic data off of. Often I'm ssh'd in to a hub machine and jumping in to edge devices, so I couldn't run ssh kitten if I wanted to. I think I'm probably an edge case, but it is very frustrating.
