I have recently jumped head first into the Linux space. I’ve installed Arch on my daily driver and I’ve become overwhelmed/overjoyed with my options. I’d like to hear from the community about your Linux favorites.
What is your favorite Terminal Emulator and what have you done to customize it?
Microsoft terminal. It has profiles for each connection and Ligature support for fonts. Font rendering is good. Theming is nice.
Edit: in the linux world i like konsole and xfce terminal.
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.
I use both WezTerm and Kitty, they are both great with customization. You can see my config in dotfiles here https://github.com/haunt98/dotfiles
xterm. It emulates a terminal. What else would I want a terminal emulator to do?
