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

    I like Konsole.

    It comes with KDE, supports tabs, themes, and loads very fast.

    I don’t really need more from a terminal than that. When I, rarely, need more advanced features like window splitting and session management I also use Zellij (previously I used tmux).

      I love Konsole. Most KDE products are extremely solid… aside from their dumb names.

      Ugh. Imagine if they chose gems instead of ‘K’.

        “gemsonsole” is an even dumber name, though.

          No, like naming things after gems.

          “Sapphire” would be a good name for a console, for example.

            Let’s not write off Gemonsole™ yet, that’s an amazing name

      Konsole does window splitting as well, doesn’t it?

      Yakuake is similar but drop down based (like quake). I love having a hot key to access my terminal (tabs, splits, and all). Especially when editing in vim and looking at docs in Firefox it’s such a buttery smooth workflow.
