I’ve always just used konsole or gnome terminal. Never really looked into what else is available. Tried cool-retro-term the other day, but the novelty wore off pretty fast for me.
Curious to see if there’s a terminal someone swears by and refuses to use anything else.
I use alacritty and I’m very very new to Linux. I actually found that working on the config files for alacritty helped me a ton with learning how to approach config files in general. So advanced maybe but simple enough to teach new users a ton of useful things.
I tested kitty and alacrity when I first found out about advanced term emulators. I liked kitty more, but I don’t remember why. I use the kittens all the time. It’s super convenient to play a video or display an image in the terminal. Kitty works on most distros. I wish it worked on windows, too, so I could use it at work.
I also love wezterm, but because I was able to easily disable all of it’s keyboard shortcuts and only re-enable those few I want (ctrl+shift+V, F11, ctrl+“=”, ctrl+ “-”). I use tmux for everything and I really love that I can “debloat” the shortcuts and don’t have to care about colliding keybinds when configuring things like neovim.
It doesn't matter to you. There's all sorts of reasons it might matter to other people like right click support, SSH profile management, how it handles tabs, and on and on...
I’ve really grown to like yakuake. I always have a sorta “main terminal” where I have a tmux session going and now I do that in yakuake so it’s available on all desktops and easily put “out of the way” when I don’t need it.
