If you're occasionally using them, there aren't any.

If you're excessively using them, there are many.

Could you highlight a couple, I'm kinda in between with my terminal usage....

[-] muhyb@programming.dev 26 points 1 day ago

Sure, I can do that.

  • If you're looking for something lightweight, go for st or urxvt. These are Xorg-only.
  • If you want to configure it via GUI, xfce4-terminal is the middle ground for lightweight and feature-rich. If you are on KDE, konsole would suffice. You can use these on Xorg and Wayland.
  • If you want to work with multiple panes in a single window, terminator is your friend. Used this on Xorg but not sure about its Wayland compatibility.
  • If you want GPU acceleration and more features, kitty and alacritty is out there. Both should work on Xorg and Wayland.
  • If you want something like st but pure Wayland, foot is the best lightweight terminal emulator. My current personal favourite.

Fucking legend!

Pretty sure I'm using konsole right now, whatever it is, it came pre-installed on my distro.
Might check out foot and kitty, what I'm using is working right now, but always nice to look into different options.

Yeah, it's one of the greatest characteristics of FOSS. We have many options and endless posibilities.

Glad to help.

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.
