Favorite Terminal Emulator

stark@qlemmy.com to Linux@lemmy.ml – 110 points –

I have recently jumped head first into the Linux space. I've installed Arch on my daily driver and I've become overwhelmed/overjoyed with my options. I'd like to hear from the community about your Linux favorites.

What is your favorite Terminal Emulator and what have you done to customize it?

Switched from alacritty after using it for a year or two to foot. Does what it's supposed to well, and not a bunch of other shit

Yeah, foot is really fast even without server mode.

Seconded, easy to use, easy to configure and does what it's supposed to do.

Care to elaborate what alacritty does differently than foot?

It's written in C and is a bit more minimalist. Builds faster than alacritty, and is pretty even with alacritty in perf.
