I like terminology
It’s quick, gpu accelerated, can natively display images, and I’m not sure what else.
I don’t use the rest of enlightenment de but have stuck with terminology for years
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.

What are the benefits if Gpu-accelarated terminals? From my understanding, that's a really negligible difference.
guake and conemu
I'm in the Alacrity+Zellij cargo cult
Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport's Terminal 2.
Alacritty because I like how it handles bitmap fonts and I need bitmap fonts in my life.
I don't have one specific as my favorite anymore and currently use Konsole from KDE. If you like tinkering with files and want it highly customizable through configuration files instead a gui, then probably Kitty is the best (and the closest to being my favorite). Alacritty is also a good one, but its quite simple and lacks some features in my opinion. I didn't try too many, but these 3 are the top three I would consider using in the ~~feature~~ future.
Wezterm. It has all the features one could wish for
I use Hyper because it’s pretty simple to setup the way you want it and carry the config across OSs.
iterm2 is near perfect on macOS, for Linux I usually use Alacritty or Foot
I do a ton of work on my homelab from my iPad with Blink Shell, and if I had to pick a favorite terminal, it would be Blink. I know this kinda falls outside the goal of your question, and with that in mind, after Blink, my favorite is Konsole.
I want to say Alacritty+zellij but have not even tried that lol.
Konsole. It just works, has profiles etc. I highly recommend to change it to "launch every window in same process" to avoid multiple windows, create a new desktop entry replacing "konsole" with "konsole --new-tab".
And also learn Desktop actions, its very cool!
I have a profile with different colors that starts in my Distrobox.
my example desktop entry
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
TryExec=konsole
Exec=konsole --new-tab
Icon=utilities-terminal
Categories=System;TerminalEmulator;
Actions=FedoraBox;root;ssh;
X-DocPath=konsole/index.html
X-DBUS-StartupType=Unique
X-KDE-AuthorizeAction=shell_access
X-KDE-Shortcuts=Ctrl+Alt+T
StartupWMClass=konsole
Keywords=terminal;console;script;run;execute;command;command-line;commandline;cli;bash;sh;shell;zsh;cmd;command prompt
Name=Konsole
GenericName=Terminal
Comment=Command line access
[Desktop Action FedoraBox]
Name=Distrobox
Icon=fedora-logo-icon
Exec=konsole --profile Fedora-Box
[Desktop Action root]
Name=root Terminal
Icon=folder-root-symbolic
Exec=konsole -e pkexec $SHELL #or define a shell
[Desktop Action ssh]
Name=ssh to X
Icon=folder-remote-symbolic
Exec=konsole -e ssh user@IP:PORT -i /path/to/key
Plasma will still display "open new window" which will instead open a new tab. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+t will also open a new tab, just as opening from Dolphin etc. Perfection!
Note that Konsole will pull in tons of dependencies, you may want to use XFCEs Terminal if you dont want that. Alacritty has no tabs which I find annoying (I hate windows).
terminator was my go to for the longest time. Nowadays, I just use default GNOME Terminal. I just need things to work and not waste time tinkering.
Would be foot, but I'm using a font with ligatures so it's kitty
Terminology with the Nyan Cat cursor! :3 ^.^
