I really enjoy alacritty, it provides you a terminal with nice defaults.
For a bit more base functionality, such as tabs or split panes, you could look into kitty or wezterm for example.
In the case of alacritty you'd need to look at other tools such as tmux or zellij for multi-terminal workspaces in one window.

It is! Nu looks really cool, haven't gotten around to migrating yet myself.
Quit my corporate job for a small place with a mission to do good. Never going back to bigtech.
Had to call the police because some kids were vandalizing a subway station. While that was going on there was a dude on a bench quietly doing what I hope was stroking his pet banana in his pants. Yay society.
I had similar requirements. I switched to Baikal, which has been happily running in a docker container ever since.
