From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Cool, but now SSH into a remote server and then try to open nano. It doesn't.
After using it for 3 weeks I concluded that as Kitty breaks the fundamentals all the nice shiny isn't worth it.
Just install terminfo.
It is intended behavior, almost every terminal requires terminfo. It is just that terminfo for most popular (or older) ones comes preinstalled.
All new niche terminal suffer from it. Foot has the same problem.
Or override the TERM variable in your ssh config. Setting it to an xterm value has been supported by any niche term I've used over the years without sacrificing any of the usual functions.
I have literally never had any issue with Kitty on any of my servers or local machines
alias ss=kitty +kitten ssh
use the ssh kitten at least once and it will install the terminfo for you
