I have recently jumped head first into the Linux space. I’ve installed Arch on my daily driver and I’ve become overwhelmed/overjoyed with my options. I’d like to hear from the community about your Linux favorites.

What is your favorite Terminal Emulator and what have you done to customize it?

      Also using this one for years now, don’t see a reason to change, although I see some “foot” in conjunction with wayland quite often.

      Alacritty is also the terminal that feels small and focused enough for me. Too many other terminals try to do everything like session management, etc.

      It works cross platform on every machine including windows with a single lua config and the documentation feels complete.

    I’m happy with Konsole. Don’t think I’ve customized it any. TEs by and large just get the job done.

      I looked quite a bit. Konsole is king for me.

      My only complaint is the SSH profiles don’t always work as intended, but that’s just a theming thing.

    Switched from alacritty after using it for a year or two to foot. Does what it’s supposed to well, and not a bunch of other shit

    I use Yakuake and Konsole since they came along with KDE Plasma. I’ve never really thought about using anything else, but maybe I should…

    I use kitty. I don’t use its multiplexer features, but I do use its emoji picker a lot.

    I don’t do much customizing at the terminal. Currently I use alacritty, terminator, and st. Every few years I go through a searching-for-the-perfect-terminal and get frustrated at various shortcomings.

    I’m using Tilix right now, mostly because it’s the best of the very few that support touch scrolling. Since I’m using my Surface Pro as a tablet a lot of the time that’s an important feature to me.

    Used to be termite for its minimalist feature. Now that it’s gone I move on to Wezterm. Occasionally I use alacrity to connect to armbian nodes because it can’t recognize wezterm. I hate kitty, not because of the terminal itself, but the dev. There is a snarky comment at github issue made by kitty’s dev when people request for a termite-like feature. It drove me to uninstall kitty straight away.

      I love it for its simplicity but unfortunately some fonts like Fira Code are weirdly buggy on font size 11. Still a very pretty and just werks™ terminal for basic usage so I kept using it with a changed font lol

      Tried it and was not much pleased. What makes it better in your opinion?

        If you don’t like it, don’t use it. I like it so I use it. I don’t have to validate my choices with things that don’t matter.

        I don’t agree at all that gnome applications are bloat ware. Most of the gnome applications are very minimal and light weight.

        Also I guess it is great we have options.
