Linux

I've been using Alacritty for a while. It's fast and does everything I need.

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

Wezterm for me, I like the multiplexer that comes with it.

foot

I only changed the colors and the font to Fira Code.

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 kitty and alacritty most important thing is editting the dot profiles in bash or zsh to get color codes for things and autocorrection.

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...

Gnome terminal. I'm just used to it.

Been using foot for like 4 years.

I haven't needed anything different than Konsole, it works great for me.

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.

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

Gnome Terminal when I'm in GNOME, Konsole when I'm in KDE, and plain old xterm for i3 and any other WM. These just feel like they fit just right into their respective DE/WM.

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.

Serial port hooked up to my oscilloscope

Boring answer, but I just use gnome-terminal with a nord theme. I also remove the menu and scroll bars, and add some internal padding.

The only other thing I do, is I use tdrop so I can have a "scratchpad" or dropdown terminal that I can toggle with gnome-terminal.

I just can't drop st.

I don't really have a preference for a specific TE. As long as the default background is black. And not something close to black but not quite. And as long as Ctrl-Shift-V is paste.

I like terminator

Urxvt, slight colorscheme changes to make background dark gray and foreground - light gray. alacritty might be "blazingly fast" but in my experience if terminal is slowing you down - you are doing something wrong. On the other hand urxvt uses 20 times less memory.

On regular desktop environments I really like Guake - it’s a drop down terminal emulator similar to how old games used to do it. It’s nice for quick use here and there. Though these days I just run tilling wm with xfce-terminal. It gets the job done and still looks good.

xterm. It emulates a terminal. What else would I want a terminal emulator to do?

Alacritty + tmux OR urxvt

Gnome Console since it is consistent with the rest of Gnome and works well enough.

I'm another Alacritty user. It's been my daily driver for years at this point and I have no complaints

I've used xterm, rxvt, kitty, and now alacritty. I like alacritty because it's fast and simple. The only thing I don't like is that the default color scheme is off. If you run tmux in something like xterm, the bar is green. But in the default alacritty, it looks more yellow.

So I have this in my ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml:

# XTerm's default colors
colors:
   # Default colors
   primary:
     background: '#000000'
     foreground: '#d8d8d8'
   # Normal colors
   normal:
     black:   '#000000'
     red:     '#cd0000'
     green:   '#00cd00'
     yellow:  '#cdcd00'
     blue:    '#0000ee'
     magenta: '#cd00cd'
     cyan:    '#00cdcd'
     white:   '#e5e5e5'

   # Bright colors
   bright:
     black:   '#7f7f7f'
     red:     '#ff0000'
     green:   '#00ff00'
     yellow:  '#ffff00'
     blue:    '#5c5cff'
     magenta: '#ff00ff'
     cyan:    '#00ffff'
     white:   '#ffffff'

Mlterm because it's the only low latency terminal with modern features.

My favorite is Tilda, (drop down terminal) and my second favorite would be good ol' Konsole.

KDE's Konsole, I love using it since it also integrates into Dolphin

I use Alacritty and have only themed its colors

Used to use Terminator on Cinnamon, but now I use Konsole with bindings to split horizontally and vertically on Plasma.

st from suckless all the way. Used it a couple of years now in conjunction with i3. I'm spawning a lot of terminals, doing a few commands and closing them often, so starting quick is a must.

Wrote a small patch that allows me to copy current directory from a terminal instance to primary selection with a keybinding. That allows me to quickly navigate to whatever directory that would be in another terminal or application.

Microsoft terminal. It has profiles for each connection and Ligature support for fonts. Font rendering is good. Theming is nice.

Edit: in the linux world i like konsole and xfce terminal.

st all the way. Quick to launch and it works well

I use both WezTerm and Kitty, they are both great with customization. You can see my config in dotfiles here https://github.com/haunt98/dotfiles

Yakuake as it's just one button, F12, away. I do what I need and puff it's gone.

Guake and only really customized by setting infinite scroll and tweaked transparency. I jump in and out of the terminal all the time, so it's perfect for me. Plus F12 for terminal is old muscle memory from RISCOS.
