I’m using Gnome on Fedora and was wondering what terminal everyone’s using? When I had a Mac I really liked iTerm2 and was hoping to find a suitable Linux version, but so far no such luck. I’ve tried Guake but I can’t get the F12 binding to work.

Preferably, I’d like to find a terminal that can display system stats the same way as iTerm2.

I swapped alacrity for kitty and then foot, but same. Wezterm is nice to. But a little on the heavy side.

What made you move from each one? I run Kitty+Zsh on my main distro & Alacritty+fish on my gaming distro, but I can barely tell a difference.

Add tmux to the mix and you’ve just described my perfect setup.

I go for Zellij nowadays, it comes out of the box about the same as I get tmux into after a bunch of tweaking. If you like barebones tmux though you might not like Zellij.
