Linux

I really love Tabby

Tabs, CMD, SSH, Powershell... all included. It has multiple profiles, can be used portable, has themes and Integrations, like one for Docker

Never need anything else imo 😊

I really like wezterm, mainly because it's configured in Lua and you can easily disable all keyboard shortcuts and allow only the ones you want. I do everything in Tmux, so my only shortcut s are for changing font size and full-screening window.

xterm

respect the classics :)

xterm. Simple. Gets the job done.

St, Xterm, Terminator - depends on hardware and os.

I'm most comfortable when my window manager and terminal emulator are well integrated and keyboard centric.

I use black box flatpak.

St

guake-terminal for a full-screen overlay terminal, I have a keybinding for transparency toggle so I can read guides through the overlay. I used to use tilda, but I switched because they weren’t supporting wayland.

For random/ad-hoc terminals I’ve historically used gnome-terminal and console, but recently I’ve been trying to eliminate window decoration entirely, and for that I’ve been liking black box (flatpak) for the floating decoration and other configuration bits.

They both support theming, and have dracula included by default, so it was easy enough to get a consistent look and feel.

I have tabs switched off for all of them. That’s what tmux is for.

edit: I’ll probably be checking out alacritty

Xterm is fine and everywhere.

st. LukeSmithxyz's fork specifically.

Emacs with vterm

I have Guake for passive tasks like music payback or anytime I want a full screen terminal to hold my focus, like when I'm writing in Neovim.

Tillix is my active terminal. Taking notes, active chat sessions, or running a SSH connection. Anything that I want on screen permanently.

I use vterm in emacs if I'm doing something quick, but if I'm actually using the terminal for a task, I use blackbox because it integrates nicely with gnome. I just use vterm if I'm using exwm.

Terminology, with the Nyan Cat cursor! ^.^ :3

i used to use urxvt but i had some issues with certain fonts and symbols loading, so i’ve since switched over to kitty, and it works fine for me

Tested dozen recently… And nothing was so much better to change the default one of KDE.

Used to urxvt (when I was using tilling vm on desktop pc). Used gnome-terminal when I was on cinnamon. I switched to KDE year or so ago and I'm using Konsole. It really does not matter that much, I only need tab support and 256 colors.

Emacs!

Kitty, though I have been looking into st as I recently switched to dwm.

Alacritty....rust it all

Unironically: vscode terminal. It's the terminal that has less bugs when using shift+arrows to select text. I also use PowerShell because bash doesn't allow text selection with keyboard.

Basically what Silva said. When I'm going out of my way to install something, kitty. Else I roll with my DE's default, which in my case is usually gnome-terminal.

I'm liking Warp, Tabby and Wezterm currently. Working on a config for my NixOS Hyprland and planning to see how foot does in comparison. Blackbox was pretty cool, but didn't use it much.

Terminology with screen and zsh.

I mostly use the default terminal emulator in the desktop environment I use, currently this is the gnome terminal.

What are the main reasons one want to use another terminal emulator? IMHO if I can reszie the window and the font and font size is good or configurable it is fine..
