alacritty

I like Terminator for its mouse-controlled multiplexing. I also like the fact that it's made with Python, although I haven't utilized this fact in practice.

Ptyxis because it's fast, modern, user-friendly and follows modern GNOME UI, and as a second alacritty

• St if I use X11 wm
• Konsole if I use KDE
• Foot if I use wayland wm

Yakuake

Konsole and zsh

Digital Equipment Corporations VT220

I'm on the Alacritty/Tmux/ZSH train. Haven't any issues, other than font scaling differences between laptop and desktop UW monitor.

Tilda, because I can bring it down my screen with one key any time.

Usually whatever fits in best with the DE I'm using. I'm on Pop!, so that's Gnome Terminal currently. I'm excited to see when System76's Pop!_OS's COSMIC Desktop will bring with an alacritty-based terminal emulator.

Why? I'm using xterm since 1990, they all are the same more or less

I like Tilix, since it lets me split the terminal with a keyboard shortcut and easily switch between terminals too. I tried using GNOME terminal + tmux, but having to hit Ctrl+b before the command I wanted got tedious fast.

Favorite terminal? iTerm2 on mac, hands-down. Wish they would port it to Linux.

On Linux though, I usually end up using guake, as I like having easy drop-down global access to my terminal.

9term is what I use the most. Once you get used to the Plan9 way, you kind of like it. Sometimes I use Terminator as well. Konsole is like Terminator, both are good. They are both nicer than kitty for me. I tried kitty, went back to Terminator as it has menus to edit things, not just a text file.

I use ddterm. It's a gnome extension that adds a Drop Down Terminal. I quite like how easy it is to bring it up and hide it again, at the press of a button. You can even hide it without closing it, so it's great for testing web apps.

I don't know if it's Plasma dependent, but I love using yakuake on my laptop for the convenience of pressing F4 and it just popping up. I know there are shortcuts for making a terminal pop up, but I really like how yakuake closes itself when you click out of it.

Couldn't tell you about the technical side of yakuake, but I will say I just love the convenience more than anything else.

None, they all have pros & cons.
The most popular in the Linux space is probably Alacritty & Kitty.

Currently: foot

Especially for the server mode and the resulting fast startup of footclient.

Foot is the fastest and I use it as default. Second is Kitty because it uses GPU acceleration.

Mine is yakuake simply because it's a drop down one so it integrates well into my desktop.

Wezterm. Featureful like kitty but supports bitmap fonts.

Kitty and Konsole

Terminator and zsh shell with oh my zsh

Call me lazy, but I like terminal 1. Usually shortest distance from the station building.

What's my favourite terminal? The one that fits my desktop environment. When I used XFCE I used its terminal, when I used i3 I used kitty, and now I use blackbox on Gnome.

Wezterm. I started out on konsole, and was happy with it, but then I started using zellij as my terminal multiplexer. Although zellij allows you to configure what command copies and pastes text, copy/paste on wayland and windows only works by default with wezterm. It gives me consistency across multiple DEs/OSes, with minimal configuration, which is good because I was setting up development environments for many people, with many configurations

mintty (windows)

xterm (linux)

termux (android)

I've tried a lot of them over the whole history of Linux, but what I use now is kitty.

Illness

I use kitty, specifically because of the icat kitten (that draws images on the terminal) and its integration with the lf file manager's preview.

I like Terminator,
for it's ability to split one terminal window into as much as you want:

In combination with Fish shell,
for it's auto completion + syntax highlighting:
https://fishshell.com/

And lastly, BobTheFish,
a nice git-aware powerline theme to go along with it:

Is tmux not cool anymore, haven't seen anyone say anything about it?
