I’m looking for a new terminal. What’s your favorite one and why? Which one is popular?

    Call me lazy if you like, but I use GNOME terminal. Comes as standard with my distro. Does what I need. Supports fonts that aren’t pixel fonts and has various look and feel tweaks accessible by GUI if I really want to get in there. I do that once after every fresh install and it’s been a while since then.

    Given that I loved a bit of Quake back in the day, you’d think I’d like drop down terminals like ddterm and Guake (which might not work on Wayland?), but weirdly no. I like it in a box I can move around.

    I also keep the ancient xterm installed just in case and for when I get nostalgic for the old pixel fonts, but it’s not exactly my go-to.
