6 Best Free and Open Source Terminal Emulators Built With Web Technologies - LinuxLinks

PreviewQt - preview all kinds of files - LinuxLinks
PreviewQt is a file previewer that strives to be lightweight, very fast, and simple. It supports a huge range of files and formats.
PreviewQt is a sibling to PhotoQt, but it’s designed to be simpler and more lightweight. The intention is to add support for more file types to PreviewQt, beyond files that a good image viewer handles. In time, PreviewQt is intended to become the “swiss army knife” for previewing and getting information about files.
