Yakuake

Once upon a time, I loved Xfce Terminal. It use light and complete for the use-case I had. Then I wanted something that looked nicer with vin. So I started looking for an alternative.

I used alacrity for a long time (4 years). Then, I found kitty provided some nice stuffs that simplified the workflow for remote servers thanks to special ssh commands and session tabs. I used kitty for about 2-3 years. One thing I missed was that it's hard to integrate with other software because it implementa all it's crazy "kitty protocols" and pretend to use them even if they're compleynon-standard.

Recently, some misterious bug appeared and made it impossible to use. I switched to wezterm. I liked it could be configured in Lua, so it feels more coherent with my neovim configs. I just missed the mappings for switching terminal and send "!!" (i.e. execute last command). The special commands for copying custom configs on any ssh server was also missing, but it's easy to make a script for that. I haven't experienced too much with integrating it with other tools, but I suspect it's not better than kitty in this.

I gave a chance to konsole last week. I just asked myself why we (neovim users) all look for Gpu-accelarated stuffs. The improvement in performance is negligible actually. However, konsole is super-well integrated in the OS, with a scratch terminal (yakuake), file managers (dolphin, konqueror), text editors (Kate), and even simple browsers (konqueror). It provides all the features of wezterm. I still lack a key map for sending "!!" to a specific terminal, though. But I think the integration it offers is superior to that niche feature (that can be paired within neovim, btw).

Is tmux not cool anymore, haven't seen anyone say anything about it?

I like Terminator for its mouse-controlled multiplexing. I also like the fact that it's made with Python, although I haven't utilized this fact in practice.

I use ddterm. It's a gnome extension that adds a Drop Down Terminal. I quite like how easy it is to bring it up and hide it again, at the press of a button. You can even hide it without closing it, so it's great for testing web apps.

Usually whatever fits in best with the DE I'm using. I'm on Pop!, so that's Gnome Terminal currently. I'm excited to see when System76's Pop!_OS's COSMIC Desktop will bring with an alacritty-based terminal emulator.

I like Tilix, since it lets me split the terminal with a keyboard shortcut and easily switch between terminals too. I tried using GNOME terminal + tmux, but having to hit Ctrl+b before the command I wanted got tedious fast.

I don't know if it's Plasma dependent, but I love using yakuake on my laptop for the convenience of pressing F4 and it just popping up. I know there are shortcuts for making a terminal pop up, but I really like how yakuake closes itself when you click out of it.

Couldn't tell you about the technical side of yakuake, but I will say I just love the convenience more than anything else.

What's my favourite terminal? The one that fits my desktop environment. When I used XFCE I used its terminal, when I used i3 I used kitty, and now I use blackbox on Gnome.

Mine is yakuake simply because it's a drop down one so it integrates well into my desktop.

Wezterm. I started out on konsole, and was happy with it, but then I started using zellij as my terminal multiplexer. Although zellij allows you to configure what command copies and pastes text, copy/paste on wayland and windows only works by default with wezterm. It gives me consistency across multiple DEs/OSes, with minimal configuration, which is good because I was setting up development environments for many people, with many configurations

Wezterm. Featureful like kitty but supports bitmap fonts.

I use kitty, specifically because of the icat kitten (that draws images on the terminal) and its integration with the lf file manager's preview.

Favourite? Windows terminal.

Favourite Linux compatible? Vs code integrated terminal.

The one I actually use on Linux because viscose integrated terminal is not standalone? Konsole, just because it's the default In kde.

EDIT: may I know why I got downvoted? Just because I have an unpopular preference? Is this reddit?

Kitty and Konsole

I've tried a lot of them over the whole history of Linux, but what I use now is kitty.

xterm (linux)

Foot is the fastest and I use it as default. Second is Kitty because it uses GPU acceleration.

I do a ton of work on my homelab from my iPad with Blink Shell, and if I had to pick a favorite terminal, it would be Blink. I know this kinda falls outside the goal of your question, and with that in mind, after Blink, my favorite is Konsole.

I like terminology

It’s quick, gpu accelerated, can natively display images, and I’m not sure what else.

I don’t use the rest of enlightenment de but have stuck with terminology for years

I don't have one specific as my favorite anymore and currently use Konsole from KDE. If you like tinkering with files and want it highly customizable through configuration files instead a gui, then probably Kitty is the best (and the closest to being my favorite). Alacritty is also a good one, but its quite simple and lacks some features in my opinion. I didn't try too many, but these 3 are the top three I would consider using in the ~~feature~~ future.

I'm in the Alacrity+Zellij cargo cult

um... ~~Emacs.~~ I mean, Oh My Zsh.
