What terminal emulator do you use?

i am pretty torn between kitty and ghostty and i honestly don’t know which one to pick they are both great. i gave alacritty a try but i can’t get it to show custome png images for fastfetch in wayland so i decided against that. i honestly don’t know what one i am going to stick with (kitty or ghostty).

yakuake is good to but i will use that along with ghostty or kitty which ever i decide on using

@anon91115920, this thread is 4 years old. The last response is August 2020. It would be better idea to start a new thread. Necrobumping ancient threads is frowned upon.

OMG sorry about that. It won’t happen again. i completely failed to pay attention to the date. :frowning: Will do from now on. Errr… my bad man.

I didn’t know it was a frowned upon either necassarily, thankx for the info.

Next time i will indeed just start a new post!

This isn’t a thread of people asking for help and its lounge where people chat, so I think necrobumping is fine in this case.

Same I would not say the theme is obsolete.

Since the thread bounce above brought this vintage topic back to life… it made me feel less geezerly to note that my clear preference for konsole is also the choice of some folks who clearly know what they’re doing. [Does everything I need from an emulator without much fuss.]

Makes me feel like I’m not just a clueless old-schooler (… though I may still be clueless :wink: )

I’m not a heavy terminal centric user…the default KDE terminal Konsole does the work for me…which is basically just update the free-stuffs with yay. :sweat_smile:

I use wezterm. Easy to config and cross-platform. Transparency in Windows 11 too.

This seems like a topic worth revisiting over time, especially when new options become available. GhostTTY really isn’t my thing, but I enjoy seeing the ways other users interact with their systems.

Personally, I’ve used tilix for years, though I’ve been using konsole and yakuake more recently because of Plasma’s terminal integration with Dolphin,

The perfect terminal setup for me: Kitty Terminal - Fish Shell - Fisher Plugin Manager - Tide Plugin

That is my exact setup, used to be zsh, but fish is quicker to setup.

I dabbled with ghostty, I liked it, but I am an emacs guy, like to use ctrl+c to copy, kitty can “do both”, ghostty ctrl+c does not work in emacs if ctrl+c set to copy.

Once you set up zsh (which you already did) you never have to do it again :wink: . I have been using the same config across several machines with minimal changes over the years.
