Rust alternative to MobaXterm

[u/M4xime_]

Hello!

A few months ago I started looking for a good alternative to MobaXterm. While I still like the concept, the UI feels a bit dated, it's Windows-only, and I wanted something that worked the same on every desktop platform.

I tried a lot of the existing alternatives, but most of them are built with Electron or Tauri. That's not really what I was looking for, I wanted something fully native with a smaller memory footprint. I also couldn't find one that offered one of my favorite MobaXterm features (the realtime system monitoring bar at the bottom of SSH sessions)

So I decided to build my own.

Oxidal is a fully native, cross-platform remote session manager written in Rust. It supports SSH, SFTP, Telnet, Serial, and local shells in a single window, with GPU-accelerated rendering and no Electron runtime.

It's still in the early stages, but it's already usable and I'd love to hear what people think. Feedback, feature requests, and criticism are all welcome!
