Linux

When I am on Hyprland I use foot. It is fast and well configurable.

My fallback is Gnome and inside I use the new kgx aka Console. I like that it shows in the window decoration's color when I'm working remotely or as super user.

Serial port hooked up to my oscilloscope

Konsole because it does everything I need it to and naturally integrates with Dolphin, which is something I like a lot. (F4 may be my most pressed Fn key thanks to this.)

As for customization, switched from bash to fish and use some fisher plugins for added convenience, along with the Tide prompt. I still use bash for some scripts, but that's about the extent of it.

Also, I use a light theme, so feel free to crucify me.

st all the way. Quick to launch and it works well

Depends what I'm doing, where and how. I do use tmux everywhere though but at home xfce-terminal, At work I tend to use terminator for the wonders of group control but if connecting from a windows pc i'll be on windows-terminal.

For shell I try to use zsh everywhere with p10k and omz.

Don't matter much as long as I got tmux

Unless there's a Linux tty that supports -CC, like iterm2 for macOS.

I always liked Terminator because of the easy splitscreening.

On regular desktop environments I really like Guake - it’s a drop down terminal emulator similar to how old games used to do it. It’s nice for quick use here and there. Though these days I just run tilling wm with xfce-terminal. It gets the job done and still looks good.

Started using Kona Ike dice it’s what came by default with KDE. Tried kitty, alacritty, foot (I think that was the name, on Wayland) and iterm2 on Mac… and came back to konsole in KDE and terminal.app in Mac.

Truth is I just need a simple terminal. Kitty and Alacritty and other terminals continuously had me in that’s-not-the-right-way, configuring terminal colors through ssh, or tmux compatability (kitty even says that you shouldn’t use tmux, and screen splitting should be done at the terminal, not in the server).

At the end of the day, I use whatever is installed where I work. So far, all “default” terminals seem to be enough.

Whatever comes with the DE. I don't use it enough to have a favorite.

I've used xterm, rxvt, kitty, and now alacritty. I like alacritty because it's fast and simple. The only thing I don't like is that the default color scheme is off. If you run tmux in something like xterm, the bar is green. But in the default alacritty, it looks more yellow.

So I have this in my ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml:

# XTerm's default colors
colors:
   # Default colors
   primary:
     background: '#000000'
     foreground: '#d8d8d8'
   # Normal colors
   normal:
     black:   '#000000'
     red:     '#cd0000'
     green:   '#00cd00'
     yellow:  '#cdcd00'
     blue:    '#0000ee'
     magenta: '#cd00cd'
     cyan:    '#00cdcd'
     white:   '#e5e5e5'

   # Bright colors
   bright:
     black:   '#7f7f7f'
     red:     '#ff0000'
     green:   '#00ff00'
     yellow:  '#ffff00'
     blue:    '#5c5cff'
     magenta: '#ff00ff'
     cyan:    '#00ffff'
     white:   '#ffffff'

I use both WezTerm and Kitty, they are both great with customization. You can see my config in dotfiles here https://github.com/haunt98/dotfiles

Sakura. Simple and fast.

Yakuake as it's just one button, F12, away. I do what I need and puff it's gone.

Microsoft terminal. It has profiles for each connection and Ligature support for fonts. Font rendering is good. Theming is nice.

Edit: in the linux world i like konsole and xfce terminal.
