If I install a terminal and SSH doesn't work from it out of the box, I would describe that as a bug and wonder if I need to read the full manual to not fall foul of other gotchas


It is a bug.. But not with Ghostty...


What do you think the bug is, exactly?


Servers throwing "missing or unsuitable terminal" even when the connecting terminal is available and very suitable. And this is just because they hardcode xterm as the "standard".
