I thought it was a legit question. So I don't understand the downvotes either.

iTerm2 seems to be what I'm looking for :-) I can do X easy enough on macOS, it's all the other stuff I was looking for.

What do you use for x on macos? Xquartz was unusable for years. It's true that a new version came out recently, but it still doesn't feel great. Are there any better options?

The new version only really fixed M1 specific issues. It's really been practically abandoned since Apple pulled their hands off it and left it to "the community".

Yeah, I feel like they’re being weird because you haven’t heard of such a common tool, but I figure you’re just one of the lucky ten thousand [0] today!

Anyways, I hope you enjoy it! I only recently realized it even can fire off notifications when onscreen text matches a regexp pattern [1], which has been fantastically helpful for some scripts I use for work that take forever to run and I don’t want to babysit but want to know if they error out.
