Thanks for "foot". CachyOS has it. Foot and Konsole are the only terminals that can show images correctly with "viu". Manpage says something about server/client, and I think it's like "tmux", but each terminal on its own windows. I'm sure there must be option to collapse them into current window, like "screen" or "tmux".

I haven't figured out background yet (black screen hurts my eyes). But, my settings so far are:

login-shell=yes
initial-window-size-chars=100x24
font=Monospace:size=14

Size-wise:

$ ll /usr/bin/konsole /usr/bin/foot
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 499240 Mar 16 08:45 /usr/bin/foot*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 55568 May 7 17:46 /usr/bin/konsole*

But, the libraries they pull:

$ ldd /usr/bin/konsole | wc -l
154
$ ldd /usr/bin/foot | wc -l
23

I've added `foot` to https://www.gilesorr.com/blog/linux-terminal-memory-usage.html . It only runs under Wayland, but fulfills most of my expectations and is surprisingly light on memory. _And_ it supports pixel-perfect images with `timg`, joining the small group of terms that do that.
