Terminator for me. It has tiles and tabs and does everything I need.

I don’t know if it’s the best, but kitty + zsh has been my daily driver for many years.

Wezterm is my primary. Love the built-in domain/sshmux features, especially for work. The LUA config rocks, sky is the limit. Highly portable when using something like Chezmoi or YADM.

That said, it’s not always the most performant, especially with certain TUIs. I’ve been running my NVim workspace in Kitty lately just to avoid the minor UI lag (primarily with lazygit). Not a fan of Kitty (or its dev) otherwise, but it serves its purpose.

If Wezterm ever gets optimized, it’ll be the GOAT for me.

Ghostty also sounds like it’s got potential, but haven’t gotten my invite yet. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Foot with tmux is my goto.

Definitely a favourite. Both. No necessarily at the same time 🙂

I use whatever with zag and oh my zsh

ghostty looks promising, but it’s in “closed beta” for now. When it’s released, it will be public and open source. :)

People keep recommending terminal emulators, but I think they’re missing your point.

I’m not aware of anyone making new terminals these days. In my opinion DIGITAL is still king. They are getting a bit hard to come by. VT220 used to be the gold standard, but a VT420 or VT520 is still worth it if you can find one.

Looks like there are a few VT420s on eBay going for up to $200. Prices aren’t what they used to be.

They specifically mentioned alacritty which is a terminal emulator

Yes, and now they’re looking for a real terminal

I’ve always been happiest with xfce4-terminal, though I’m using Konsole currently until XFCE fully supports Wayland.

Way back when, I was more than happy with rxvt.

st on Xorg and foot on Wayland

gitlab.gnome.org/chergert/ptyxis

Ptyxis is my current go-to. It can detect available pods or toolboxes (maybe docker too haven’t tested it) and you can open terminals directly into them. It also highlights ssh terms and root shells differently.

There are a huge number of built-in color schemes as well and I’ve had no trouble finding any configuration option I’ve found myself wanting to look for.

It’s also available on flathub so it’s easily installed in most distros.

I’ve been using xterm, urxvt, and st. Also tested alacrity, kitty, and wezterm. Your shell also plays a critical role in your terminal usage (but I won’t deviate here).
For my use-case, the latter are overkill so I stayed with st. The only missing feature for me was image support even though I use it sporadically. To cover that I use a script that relies on ueberzug or ucollage if I need to browse folders.

I’ve wrote a small post about ucollage if you’re interested.

Cosmic term is nice. Still just alpha, so there are rough edges though.

box_ebony OP ,

I see is a alacritty fork. what does it have more?

JetpackJackson ,

Switched from kitty to foot, I like it.
