#1, whatever is default. The main advantage of the terminal is that it’s just a terminal, fundamentally the same terminal since the dawn of computing.

Having said that, I do sometimes install a non-default terminal. I haven’t seen any of them mentioned:

cool-retro-termIt looks like an OG CRT! What other terminal emulator has this killer feature?

Byobu Technically a front end for tmux, but it gives some useful status info and multiple windows.

krash,

I don’t care much for the terminal, but I noticed that I care a lot about my shell and the tools I use in it.

And the prompt - can’t live without my ASCII bling-blink.

olafurp,

I use 3. I never use anything integrated into an IDE for some reason, never started and probably never will.

  • Yakuake as drop down terminal 90%
  • Black box for nice looking full screen terminal for full screen.
  • Dolphin with emulator on bottom for niche things

If I could only have one for the rest of my life I’d be torn between Yakuake and Konsole. I love Konsole though, used it for years and is all round great for sticking with the DE aesthetics and integrating with themes.

MTK,

Usually what ever best integrates with the DE (which is usually the default) but when that one sucks I fallback to Konsole

Liz_thestrange,

Konsole, for no reasons actually

Konsole, because I can use it in editor(Kate), file manager(Dolphin), IDE(KDevelop), standalone window and Quake style window.

leastprivilege,

I use kitty because its the hyprland default.

xterm

superminerJG,

I use WezTerm. Highly configurable and supports every image display protocol under the sun.

Konsole and Alacritty when in Hyprland

ScottE,

rxvt-unicode - lightweight and nearly perfect, and one of the few that handles fonts well.

Konsole, but only because I’m on Plasma. I really don’t rven like it that much, but… well, it’s a terminal, it does terminal things so I’m more than OK with it.

On xfce, I would youse xfce-terminal.

anything is fine as long as basic stuff works - like ctrl/shift+insert (tho it’s a thing I had to manually setup in Konsole 😅)

I just use GNOME console. Looks good and I’m not missing anything.

xfce4-terminal has always been my go-to terminal. It may not be the lightest or the best, but it does have some neat built-in features like opening a drop-down window…

doggle,

Alacritty

No particular reason why. It’s fast, it works, and I’ve already got it configured how I like it.

I’ve used kitty and a couple others. It really doesn’t make much difference to me tbh.
