From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Favourite? Windows terminal.
Favourite Linux compatible? Vs code integrated terminal.
The one I actually use on Linux because viscose integrated terminal is not standalone? Konsole, just because it's the default In kde.
EDIT: may I know why I got downvoted? Just because I have an unpopular preference? Is this reddit?
As much as I hate Windows, Microsoft etc, I also have grown to like the Windows Terminal. Kitty is my true favorite but Windows Terminal is a close second due to the tight integration with WSL and Microsoft's cloud stuff as well as theme support and some other things.
