Which terminal emulator do you use?

I've always just used konsole or gnome terminal. Never really looked into what else is available. Tried cool-retro-term the other day, but the novelty wore off pretty fast for me.

Curious to see if there's a terminal someone swears by and refuses to use anything else.

Fun fact!

Teletypes predate "computers" and were used for efficiently transmitting and recording text.

Here is a purely mechanical teletype from the 1930s being used to interface with a modern Linux machine:

This was a very cool video. Thank you for sharing!

And seemingly a nice YT channel :)

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
