I’m reconsidering my terminal emulator and was curious what everyone was using.
I almost exclusively use Yakuake nowadays. I like the drop down terminal.
Terminator is the one I’ve been using for a while
Yakuake, I can’t use anything other than a quake based terminal. Because of my work I need 24/7 quick access to a terminal, yakuake is just that
I never got into Quake, but I love the concept of having a terminal whenever you want with a simple press of an F-key.
When I’m using a tiling window manager, I use kitty, because I like its speed and support for font ligatures. When I’m using a Desktop Environment like Gnome or KDE I usually don’t use the terminal at all, but if I need it, I use the default emulator.
Silva? Are you Portuguese or Brazilian?
Neither, actually. I don’t know why I call myself silva, but that’s not my real name.
Lol thats a common surname here in Brazil. It means jungle in latin so the priests used to give this surname to converted natives.
Interesting. In English, “Silvan” mean a spirit that lives in the woods. It’s often used in literature as a synonym for “elves.”
Probably the same root
That’s what I was thinking, but I noped out of a linguistics minor after a year when I realized it was never going to turn into “learning a bunch of languages” and was instead spending all your time doing sentance diagramming.
I mostly use the default terminal emulator in the desktop environment I use, currently this is the gnome terminal.
What are the main reasons one want to use another terminal emulator? IMHO if I can reszie the window and the font and font size is good or configurable it is fine…
