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.

Wezterm is my favourite because it's really configurable and supports ligatures. Konsole is also quite nice. Generally I'm in favour of using whichever one comes with your DE, or Wezterm if you use a WM.
Kitty is probably the most popular one, but I don't like it cause ~~no ligature support~~ ~~no acceleration~~ it claims it has good font management, but fonts never worked properly in my experience.
Alacritty and Foot are also popular for their performance. Alacritty does have some stability issues though.
Kitty does use GPU acceleration
Wezterm is my daily driver.
