Linux

I do a ton of work on my homelab from my iPad with Blink Shell, and if I had to pick a favorite terminal, it would be Blink. I know this kinda falls outside the goal of your question, and with that in mind, after Blink, my favorite is Konsole.

Wezterm. I started out on konsole, and was happy with it, but then I started using zellij as my terminal multiplexer. Although zellij allows you to configure what command copies and pastes text, copy/paste on wayland and windows only works by default with wezterm. It gives me consistency across multiple DEs/OSes, with minimal configuration, which is good because I was setting up development environments for many people, with many configurations

I'm in the Alacrity+Zellij cargo cult

Mine is yakuake simply because it's a drop down one so it integrates well into my desktop.

I don't have one specific as my favorite anymore and currently use Konsole from KDE. If you like tinkering with files and want it highly customizable through configuration files instead a gui, then probably Kitty is the best (and the closest to being my favorite). Alacritty is also a good one, but its quite simple and lacks some features in my opinion. I didn't try too many, but these 3 are the top three I would consider using in the ~~feature~~ future.

I like terminology

It’s quick, gpu accelerated, can natively display images, and I’m not sure what else.

I don’t use the rest of enlightenment de but have stuck with terminology for years

Usually whatever fits in best with the DE I'm using. I'm on Pop!, so that's Gnome Terminal currently. I'm excited to see when System76's Pop!_OS's COSMIC Desktop will bring with an alacritty-based terminal emulator.

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

Ptyxis because it's fast, modern, user-friendly and follows modern GNOME UI, and as a second alacritty

I use Hyper because it’s pretty simple to setup the way you want it and carry the config across OSs.

I like Terminator,
for it's ability to split one terminal window into as much as you want:
https://gnome-terminator.org/

In combination with Fish shell,
for it's auto completion + syntax highlighting:
https://fishshell.com/

And lastly, BobTheFish,
a nice git-aware powerline theme to go along with it:
https://github.com/oh-my-fish/theme-bobthefish

Would be foot, but I'm using a font with ligatures so it's kitty

QTerminal, xterm, and of course, the good ol' Linux console when I don't wanna do anything graphical.

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

Call me lazy if you like, but I use GNOME terminal. Comes as standard with my distro. Does what I need. Supports fonts that aren't pixel fonts and has various look and feel tweaks accessible by GUI if I really want to get in there. I do that once after every fresh install and it's been a while since then.

Given that I loved a bit of Quake back in the day, you'd think I'd like drop down terminals like ddterm and Guake (which might not work on Wayland?), but weirdly no. I like it in a box I can move around.

I also keep the ancient xterm installed just in case and for when I get nostalgic for the old pixel fonts, but it's not exactly my go-to.

guake and conemu

I want to say Alacritty+zellij but have not even tried that lol.

Konsole. It just works, has profiles etc. I highly recommend to change it to "launch every window in same process" to avoid multiple windows, create a new desktop entry replacing "konsole" with "konsole --new-tab".

And also learn Desktop actions, its very cool!

I have a profile with different colors that starts in my Distrobox.

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
TryExec=konsole
Exec=konsole --new-tab
Icon=utilities-terminal
Categories=System;TerminalEmulator;
Actions=FedoraBox;root;ssh;
X-DocPath=konsole/index.html
X-DBUS-StartupType=Unique
X-KDE-AuthorizeAction=shell_access
X-KDE-Shortcuts=Ctrl+Alt+T
StartupWMClass=konsole
Keywords=terminal;console;script;run;execute;command;command-line;commandline;cli;bash;sh;shell;zsh;cmd;command prompt
Name=Konsole
GenericName=Terminal
Comment=Command line access

[Desktop Action FedoraBox]
Name=Distrobox
Icon=fedora-logo-icon
Exec=konsole --profile Fedora-Box

[Desktop Action root]
Name=root Terminal
Icon=folder-root-symbolic
Exec=konsole -e pkexec $SHELL #or define a shell

[Desktop Action ssh]
Name=ssh to X
Icon=folder-remote-symbolic
Exec=konsole -e ssh user@IP:PORT -i /path/to/key

Plasma will still display "open new window" which will instead open a new tab. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+t will also open a new tab, just as opening from Dolphin etc. Perfection!

Note that Konsole will pull in tons of dependencies, you may want to use XFCEs Terminal if you dont want that. Alacritty has no tabs which I find annoying (I hate windows).

Call me lazy, but I like terminal 1. Usually shortest distance from the station building.
