Linux
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.

Whatever gets me connected to my tmux session over ssh
I prefer iTerm2 on Mac because it supports ‘tmux -CC’ to transform windows into tabs.
St, Xterm, Terminator - depends on hardware and os.
I'm most comfortable when my window manager and terminal emulator are well integrated and keyboard centric.
I really love Tabby
Tabs, CMD, SSH, Powershell... all included. It has multiple profiles, can be used portable, has themes and Integrations, like one for Docker
Never need anything else imo 😊
The thing that I love about Linux is choice. To me, Tabby sounds terrible, but I'm glad that it has a community behind it to give people that choice. Whatever works for you!
Could not agree more 😊
st. LukeSmithxyz's fork specifically.
Emacs with vterm
Xterm is fine and everywhere.
Alacritty....rust it all
Tested dozen recently… And nothing was so much better to change the default one of KDE.
Used to urxvt (when I was using tilling vm on desktop pc). Used gnome-terminal when I was on cinnamon. I switched to KDE year or so ago and I'm using Konsole. It really does not matter that much, I only need tab support and 256 colors.
i used to use urxvt but i had some issues with certain fonts and symbols loading, so i’ve since switched over to kitty, and it works fine for me
Terminology, with the Nyan Cat cursor! ^.^ :3
Basically what Silva said. When I'm going out of my way to install something, kitty. Else I roll with my DE's default, which in my case is usually gnome-terminal.
Unironically: vscode terminal. It's the terminal that has less bugs when using shift+arrows to select text. I also use PowerShell because bash doesn't allow text selection with keyboard.
Kitty, though I have been looking into st as I recently switched to dwm.
I have Guake for passive tasks like music payback or anytime I want a full screen terminal to hold my focus, like when I'm writing in Neovim.
Tillix is my active terminal. Taking notes, active chat sessions, or running a SSH connection. Anything that I want on screen permanently.
I use vterm in emacs if I'm doing something quick, but if I'm actually using the terminal for a task, I use blackbox because it integrates nicely with gnome. I just use vterm if I'm using exwm.
Terminology with screen and zsh.
I'm liking Warp, Tabby and Wezterm currently. Working on a config for my NixOS Hyprland and planning to see how foot does in comparison. Blackbox was pretty cool, but didn't use it much.
@kevincox For light tasks, I will make use of either vterm (if I'm in Emacs) or Alacritty (if I'm not).
If I need to get down to serious work (such as working on shells and text files both locally and remotely), I'll jump into eshell, using TRAMP when I need to go remote or sudo (or both) to edit files. I'll still use vterm if I need something that does screen redrawing, such as apt.
Emacs!
