I’m looking for a new terminal. What’s your favorite one and why? Which one is popular?

      How often do you use images inside a terminal?

      Why having a Gpu-accelarated terminal? The computational power used by the graphical rendering of a terminal is minimal…

      I’ve been using it for a while now, and it is fine. But it is very often that I open htop and kitty is one of the big cpu wasters. Maybe I’ve configured something wrong? But yeah, sure, works.

    9term is what I use the most. Once you get used to the Plan9 way, you kind of like it. Sometimes I use Terminator as well. Konsole is like Terminator, both are good. They are both nicer than kitty for me. I tried kitty, went back to Terminator as it has menus to edit things, not just a text file.

    I like just good old gnome terminal. Theming scripts work well with it, like the gruvbox one that has like a hundred color themes. it’s got all the right features. just works

    terminator was my go to for the longest time. Nowadays, I just use default GNOME Terminal. I just need things to work and not waste time tinkering.

    i like kitty, its fast, simple, and supports ligatures.

    iterm2 is near perfect on macOS, for Linux I usually use Alacritty or Foot

    I use foot because it’s wayland native and the developer is a very nice person. Only thing missing from it for me is ligature support.

    A close second for me is WezTerm. It is very full featured, although I do not use a lot of its features. Developer is also extremely nice and helpful. It does have ligature support.

    I personally use tiling window managers, so I have no need for built-in tiling / tabbing features.

    I like Konsole.

    It comes with KDE, supports tabs, themes, and loads very fast.

    I don’t really need more from a terminal than that. When I, rarely, need more advanced features like window splitting and session management I also use Zellij (previously I used tmux).

      Yakuake is similar but drop down based (like quake). I love having a hot key to access my terminal (tabs, splits, and all). Especially when editing in vim and looking at docs in Firefox it’s such a buttery smooth workflow.
