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.

I have Guake for passive tasks like music payback or anytime I want a full screen terminal to hold my focus, like when I'm writing in Neovim.
Tillix is my active terminal. Taking notes, active chat sessions, or running a SSH connection. Anything that I want on screen permanently.
XTerm. I used to use rxvt-unicode, but it only supports 256 colors and gave me grief when I tried to get some emacs color theme working. There's only one thing I miss, which is that rxvt-unicode reflows lines when you resize the terminal, which xterm won't do. Oh and urxvtc starts very slightly faster, but no big deal.
I also looked at kitty, and I like that the author of that one tries to champion new features, like full keyboard support on par with X11 apps. But it takes noticeably longer to start and the latency also feels worse.

I mean, the Deepin one is gorgeous to look at, but that's not usually my concern if I'm typing in some code. My go to is Yakuake running a fish session, launched with a "Super + #" hotkey combo. Rapid access, easy to use, doesn't get in the way, customisable so it at least looks in keeping with the rest of the DE.
Tilda, because I could drop it down my screen anytime with one key tap.
But I don't want to die!
Lots of terminal jokes you could have chosen.
I prefer C6 out of Chicago O’Hare.
Plain ol bash
But I'm using yakuake which makes it beyond amazingly cool. Been using g that for over a decade and I'd never stop using that.
