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?

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

Also using this one for years now, don’t see a reason to change, although I see some “foot” in conjunction with wayland quite often.

Second, gotta love the new rust based tools and apps getting developed. Although I’ve seen some weird formatting issues on windows. Linux version is solid though.

Alacritty is also the terminal that feels small and focused enough for me. Too many other terminals try to do everything like session management, etc.

I like how the +1 of OG Reddit made it to Lemmy, but without the downvote hate of current Reddit. I’ve always seen those comments as more than just an upvote. An upvote can be a “+1”, but also a “thank you for your contribution”. A +1 is only a +1.

Also +1 for kitty

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

I looked quite a bit. Konsole is king for me.

My only complaint is the SSH profiles don’t always work as intended, but that’s just a theming thing.

It works cross platform on every machine including windows with a single lua config and the documentation feels complete.

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.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
