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.

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

Guake. Has been for years. I am in and out the terminal all the time, so F12 works well for me. Plus I used to play Quake and used the in game terminal to do all kinds of things. Plus I'm an old RISC OS kid and F12 was the key to get the "star line".

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.

Favourite? Windows terminal.

Favourite Linux compatible? Vs code integrated terminal.

The one I actually use on Linux because viscose integrated terminal is not standalone? Konsole, just because it's the default In kde.

EDIT: may I know why I got downvoted? Just because I have an unpopular preference? Is this reddit?
