I'm looking for a new terminal. What's your favorite one and why? Which one is popular?

  • i'm on xfce so i'd need to change my de
  • swhkd seems to be abandoned, and i couldn't get it to run, so i'd need to change a lot about my wm setup on top of moving to sway
  • nvidia issues
  • permission issues (screen sharing for example)
  • i'd also need to replace other tools, shortcuts, etc. so they use the wayland alternatives

Definitely not worth it just to get fractional scaling, and some theoretical security improvements on an OS that's already quite secure. I tried using it for a few weeks on KDE, and I had to go back to x11 for something almost every day.

Weird, I've not required X for anything since I started using it, I also just use my Window Manager to bind hotkeys (usually Sway)

I prefer to use sxhkd for all shortcuts except for starting the terminal, and some wm specific commands. It allows me to keep a really short wm config, and have an easier time trying out new ones.

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.
