Linux

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

kitty

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

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

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 like urxvt with i3

st if Xorg, foot if Wayland.

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...

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.

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

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.

Yakuake. <3 drop down terminals.

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

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.

Blackbox

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.

Serial port hooked up to my oscilloscope

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.

Gnome terminal. I'm just used to it.

I just can't drop st.

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.

Been using foot for like 4 years.

I use Alacritty and have only themed its colors

I'm using Alacritty. It's fast, it includes a Vi mode within its viewport/scrollback and it is highly customizable if you want to. But I haven't customized it much to be honest, since I mostly go straight into tmux, vim or ranger.

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.

Tilda, because I like how I can drop it down my screen anytime by pressing one key if I need to use it.

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

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

Alacritty + tmux OR urxvt

alacritty! only problem is no ligatures 😭

honestly I just use what come with the DE but if I'm not using a DE then I'll install kitty

I use WezTerm. It comes with great defaults imo.

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

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.

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

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.

When I am on Hyprland I use foot. It is fast and well configurable.

My fallback is Gnome and inside I use the new kgx aka Console. I like that it shows in the window decoration's color when I'm working remotely or as super user.
