Is it possible to run the Kitty GUI on Ubuntu or Debian?

  • 772

As it is possible to run Putty on Linux, I assume it will likely be easy to run its variant Kitty, on Ubuntu/Debian.

I don't have an Ubuntu/Debian machine with GUI (I have only a Ubuntu server machine) and as I love Kitty I want to know if it is possible to run it in Ubuntu or Debian "as is", without modifying any of the two.

windows ssh putty

    From your own link:

    What is KiTTY ?

    KiTTY is a fork from version 0.70 of PuTTY, the best telnet / SSH client in the world. KiTTY is only designed for the Microsoft® Windows® platform. For more information about the original software, or pre-compiled binaries on other systems, you can go to the Simon Tatham PuTTY page.

    So for the alterations made to Kitty to work with Linux you need to ...

    • Find out what those changes are.
    • Add them to the source code for Putty, the Linux version.
    • Compile it, and probably rebrand it.
