I’ve always just used konsole or gnome terminal. Never really looked into what else is available. Tried cool-retro-term the other day, but the novelty wore off pretty fast for me.

Curious to see if there’s a terminal someone swears by and refuses to use anything else.

    And why do you usw kitty? For me its the hyprland default terminal emulator and I never had problems with it so I stuck with it

      I tested kitty and alacrity when I first found out about advanced term emulators. I liked kitty more, but I don’t remember why. I use the kittens all the time. It’s super convenient to play a video or display an image in the terminal. Kitty works on most distros. I wish it worked on windows, too, so I could use it at work.

        If you’re allowed to install WSL on your work machine, they recently (I think recently) added GUI support for linux applications.

        If you install kitty on a WSL distro, you can use it like any other windows program.

        You can access your windows file system from /mnt/

        I don’t really know how they do the virtualization, so you may lose a lot of the performance benefits that kitty has.

        Very clunky workaround, but it’s an option.
