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).

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

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

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

      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.
