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.

What’s wrong with kitty?

I’ve been using kitty for some time didn’t had any issues, and multiplexing is useful.

PS: i used tmux for many years, and still use on headless

There is no one-size-fits-all, but for fits most, you’re looking at KDE’s Konsole or GNOME’s new Terminal (formerly Ptyxis). Everything else is going to be niche, with special use cases. What are your specific needs?

Tilix is great, complete for my needs.

Spyder ,

I run multiple terminal apps. I thought I would try a few, and I never deleted any of them.

Good, updated article: itsfoss.com/linux-terminal-emulators/

Am I the only one that’s fine with whatever the OS provides out of the box? Like, as long as I can turn the bell off and change the font, I’m chillin, and I have yet to run into a terminal that doesn’t provide those options.

Curious to hear what drives people to seek out other options (besides tiling, that I understand, I’m a tabs guy myself tho)

I always do minimal installs, so eh… guess that is a “Yes and no” for me.

box_ebony OP ,

In my case it’s resource consumption, efficiency the impact with the windows manager I use, how much is keyboard controllable. It seems strange to me that a linux user uses the default applications. The beauty of linux is the huge variety and the ability to customize. If you use allova ready-made things, a mac or windows is fine too

I don’t know I never felt the need to customize the terminal. I just like what it comes with. It feels wrong to change that. Black background and colored text is fine. The rest of the OS though damn it’s like a fucking birthday party! Nothing’s at default ffs

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.

A Windows VM running Windows terminal, SSH’d back into the host, obviously.

Honestly I stick with whatever the default is and never had a problem that led me to find anything else.

box_ebony OP ,

what you say is completely off topic

scytale ,

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.

Running Kitty the past year and a bit and really like it. Used to run into weird laggy issues with other terminal emulators, but Kitty runs like a beast for me.

wuphysics87 ,

Alacritty. Alacritty. Alacritty. And did I mention Alacritty? (I’m just counting how many I have open atm)

Foot because it’s sway default. It’s also configurable, has shortcuts and sixel support.

JetpackJackson ,

Switched from kitty to foot, I like it.
