I’ve always just used konsole or gnome terminal. Never really looked into what else is available. Tried cool-retro-term the other day, but the novelty wore off pretty fast for me.
Curious to see if there’s a terminal someone swears by and refuses to use anything else.
I was an rxvt/urxvt fan for nearly 20 years, then Alacritty for a while. Nowadays, I just use gnome-terminal and I’ve been happy with it. Looking forward to trying Prompt though.
5 days later: Prompt is the bee’s knees! Highly recommend for anyone wanting a snappy, feature-rich GTK4 terminal, especially if you work with containers.
st. It just works. I’m always opening and closing terminals, and 90% of the stuff I use have’s a TUI. st launches before I can even notice, under 4GB of RAM, and the entire install is less than a MiB.
I’ve been scrolling with no hope to see st anywhere but here it is! Only mentioned twice for now but this little guy deserves so much love. Yes, you have to build it (i.e. patch it) but that’s actually it’s beauty. You get the exact terminal you want, nothing more, nothing less. If you’re looking for power and lightweight this is your guy.
Coupled with tmux and you’re the God of your system :)
I love the features of fish but the colors are hard to read on my terminal screen when there is blue text sometimes. Wish I could change the default colors of fiah
I used to install VS code for every new install and now I just stick to Kate. Although the storage impact is minimal, a lot of the dependencies for KDE apps are already present if you are running KDE as your desktop env.
