Tilda because you can roll it down from the top of your screen with one key press.

imecth ,

Tilda is barely maintained anymore, you can get Tilix that has the same quake like feature. You can also add the quake terminal extension to your favorite alternative if you use gnome.

OopsAllTwix ,

Is it better than yaquake? I’m genuinely curious.

It’s roughly the same. I never used the tabbing features, so I can’t comment. But until wayland came along, it was always there for me, working away just fine.

muhyb ,

Depends on what you need actually. I was doing fine with urxvt on Xorg, so foot is a perfect alternative for me on Wayland.

Seconded. Both work great.

Thirded, foot for me!

For me: Wezterm. It does pretty much everything. I don’t think Alacritty/Kitty etc. offer anything over it for my usage, and the developer is a pleasure to engage with.

Second place is Konsole – it does a lot, is easy to configure, and obviously integrates nicely with KDE apps.

Honorable mention is Extraterm, which has been working on cool features for a long time, and is now Qt based.

+1 for Wezterm, it also had image support that Alacritty didn’t have, which I needed for Yazi to work.

I’ve heard good things about Warp too but Wezterm is where I’ll be for now.

I wanted to love it, but I keep getting crashes in mixed dpi environments on wayland.

I moved to foot instead. Bare bones, but unobtrusive enough. Shame the scrollbar is jank.

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.

arcayne ,

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)_/¯

Tilix is great, complete for my needs.

helopigs ,

I don’t know why more people haven’t mentioned tilix.

Makes me wonder if I’m missing out by using it 😂

Foot with tmux is my goto.

aStonedSanta ,

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.

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.

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.
