Terminal emulators

kitty. Tried alacritty and wezterm and they're equally good.

The default terminal of whatever DE I'm using, so xfce4-terminal or konsole.

When I used Linux more than I do now I liked tilix, now on the rare occasions I do I get by with the built in gnome terminal.

Not the question, but I really like windows terminal on windows, I use that for work all the time

Currently using wezterm, mostly because it supports font ligatures and alacritty doesn’t (I really like the fancy symbols haha). I do use the window management in wezterm, but I’d go back to tmux if alacritty implements ligatures.

urxvt, like a lot of other folks here. Everytime I try something else I end up back at urxvt because there's some feature that another terminal doesn't support, fonts don't render at the same size, etc.

Seconded. It's light and fast. You can add plugins that are useful. I use it with i3, and the tiling abilities of i3 with a simple terminal emulator is bliss, imo.
- I also use i3wm, and this makes such a productive and fast combination. Nearly perfect, simple, and maximizes screen real estate.

urxvt. I like the simplicity and ease of configuration with Xresources. I've been thinking about moving to st since urxvt is unmaintained but I can't get feature parity atm.

I used to use Kitty (Alacrity inspired, but different) for a while. Now I just use the default Gnome Terminal because it works and it's preinstalled.

Usually what my DE offers. In my main desktop I use st with my WM because it is very light.

I use Alacritty with tmux everywhere. I also use rxvt-unicode because it's lightning fast.

I use Alacrity as well

xterm, due tp its configurability, compatibility and speed

I like terminator, it has a lot of options like tabs, split screen, transparency. On the down side, if I remember well it lacks hardware acceleration as Alacritty.

Currently konsole. Previously used urxvt with tmux but got lazy this time around and used the KDE default. It’s fast enough and works with everything given the correct fonts

What makes alacritty your choice? Been away from linux desktop for a while but this year I've been converting more and more stations to KDE Neon (yes I know, it's not intended to be 'stable') with great results. Back in the day eterm did everything I could want in a console but mainly used for background logs or miner status stuff. What's new?

I enjoy the configurability of alacritty, but noticed there's been some issues with certain devicons showing up on neovim when I use it. That's pretty much it. I'm not one to care too much about performance. My preference is something that looks nice since I'm going to be spending a lot of time looking at it.
- I'm with you on looking nice thing. That's why I used eterm with a very long command line to become a part of the wallpaper essentially. Nothing wrong with looking good.
  
  I just installed it to check it out. Only runs as root but it seems plenty snappy. I'm not hung up on performance or anything but any kind of lag from a terminal would be unacceptable but hey it seems fine. Thanks for your post, I'll definitely mess with it.

I use Konsole because I am a kde user. But sometimes I feel like using CoolRetroTerm because of the effects and all

At the moment I like foot because it's simple and powerful. I did some benchmarks running the notcurses demo with both foot and kitty on my pretty lightweight mini pc and foot ran significantly faster, but mainly I just prefer its balance of power and minimalism over other stuff I've tried so far.

foot

Uncommon choice here: BlackBox

It works well via flatpak, so it runs on all my systems, and it has all the features I desire in a fairly elegant gtk4 app.

rxvt-unicode-256color with zsh inside awesome wm on a Debian stable (sometimes testing/sid), since about '07 and counting.

I'm running foot with tmux under wayland and I'm very happy with the setup.

I found Terminology not long ago and love it so far!

Yakuake for its drop-down feature. It's always right there at the touch of a hotkey. I don't do everything in the terminal, but I probably use it for something at least once a day.

Tilix is good. Or rather was. Development has kind of slowed down a lot except for translation updates.
