I have recently jumped head first into the Linux space. I’ve installed Arch on my daily driver and I’ve become overwhelmed/overjoyed with my options. I’d like to hear from the community about your Linux favorites.
What is your favorite Terminal Emulator and what have you done to customize it?
Konsole because it does everything I need it to and naturally integrates with Dolphin, which is something I like a lot. (F4 may be my most pressed Fn key thanks to this.)
As for customization, switched from bash to fish and use some fisher plugins for added convenience, along with the Tide prompt. I still use bash for some scripts, but that’s about the extent of it.
Also, I use a light theme, so feel free to crucify me.
I don’t really have a preference for a specific TE. As long as the default background is black. And not something close to black but not quite. And as long as Ctrl-Shift-V is paste.
Guake and only really customized by setting infinite scroll and tweaked transparency. I jump in and out of the terminal all the time, so it’s perfect for me. Plus F12 for terminal is old muscle memory from RISCOS.
Gnome Terminal when I’m in GNOME, Konsole when I’m in KDE, and plain old xterm for i3 and any other WM. These just feel like they fit just right into their respective DE/WM.
