What terminal emulator do you guys use?

Konsole because I spent ages figuring out how to give it meme blur

At least you're willing to admit you're a moron user.

>his terminal doesn't have dropdown functionality

what dropdown functionality is needed?

yakuake and sometimes konsole

What's wrong with konsole

this
with eighties colours

any steps to patch this thing on a gentoo? all i want is scroll-back but portage is spitting errors at me whenever i try to build this thing with diff files.

>what terminal emulator do you guys use?
xfce4-terminal && roxterm

rxvt-unicode

Terminal.app

no emulator, I use the real Linux terminal.
enjoy your dirty graphics :)

I just use konsole or eshell

Urxvt opens fastest, so urxvt it is

What do you mean emulator? I use debian without DE/WM????

urxvt

Just use tmux for scroll back and copy/paste is on default st now (I think since 8.0.1).

everything

st

manually patch it, add the code at the right places

why would you need to emulate a terminal, can't you just run it natively

Konsole is the best terminal emulator hands down

Konsole

cygwin
Because I'm a windows pleb.

Tilda

you can, just type init 3

the only right answer, Jow Forums is full of clueless normies

st with tmux, zsh+powerline. all hail vi-modes

iterm2 : ^ )

konsole

Tilix.
It supports text rewrapping, and also lets you have a transparent background.
I used to use gnome-terminal, until they decided nobody should be allowed to have a transparent background.

Give this macfag a reason to switch from iTerm.

eshell

xterm of course

>Konsole because I spent ages figuring out how to give it meme blur
Konsole blur is literally three clicks

St. Anything else is bloat

you don't mean urxvt ?

GNOME Terminal

Mate-terminal

emacs

Or just pipe to less

I use Termite

cool-retro-term
The Bloat of all bloats but goddamn do I love its absolutely juicy CRT nostalgia effects

gnome-term with my own custom bash :D

Rxvt-unicode. It's still best lightweight terminal emulator

You can like it but don't lie to yourself:
there's nothing lightweight about that monstrosity
how many terminal instances are you running that you actually care about it?
Unless you're running on an absolute toaster (which is possible), there are only two criteria I care about:
is it pretty? for me konsole takes on that one
user experience - how fast does the text appear on terminal after a key press. xterm wins on that one

alacritty

Can't say I can notice the speed OpenGL acceleration provides compared to urxvt but it definitely behaves better.

Terminator

xfce4-terminal
It looks pretty out of the box and it has everything I have ever needed so idgaf
i don't even use xfce

Not an argument

Standard xfce terminal, convince me to install something else.

now you only need to figure out what to use for editing text files

bloatware

ROXTerm.

I'm using st.

Also see gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728 for useful truecolor terminals. Fuck 256 colour palettes and the like.

Same.

For example: docs.xfce.org/apps/terminal/dropdown

It basically replaces garbage like dmenu with a persistent hide/unhide terminal window.

im surprised not many people use xterm

Terminator

> xterm
It's doing a lot of things just about nobody needs it to do (see st.suckless.org/ for a comment on it), and doesn't do all things well that people would like it to do.

Also if you have been on Linux for a while, you might have had quite a few times when urxvt or something else supported features you needed and xterm did not. Maybe you switched then.

Kitty

Not an argument

xterm
I'm not even configuring it much beside a different font

xfce4-terminal
Or simply anything based around VTE, it just wurks

well, how did you?

urxvt

I made a shell script and also a C program which can turn any terminal into a "drop-down" terminal

urxvt because image previews just work in ranger.

any terminal can do it you're retarded
wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/patches

or just play tetris

xterm, because I use multiple of the features it has that minimal terminals omit, and it also works better than garbage like gnome terminal. I do multiple things with color and scrollback.

>VTE
It's devs are also retarded. They refuse to disable scrollback buffer flushing to disk. Even if you disable infinite scroll, the library writes the scrollback to disk. For years, this was a security issue, because they didn't even encrypt it, and now it's still a waste of disk writes if you have a lot of terminal input, because instead of discarding the buffer (as you should if infinite scroll isn't needed), they continuously write it to disk.
>bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ source/vte3/ bug/1430620
>Another week of heavily using gnome-terminal for everyday work, another 15 MB of data written. (I won't measure this anymore.)
Instead of addressing the issue that useless writes are made, they conclude that their anecdotal tests prove a couple hundreds MB isn't relevant and disregard it. Meanwhile, in 2018, I can still reproduce VTE-based terminals writing to disk as scrollback grows. Typing dmesg causes 36864 or so bytes to be written to disk each time, for no goddamn reason at all. GNOME devs, everyone.

VTE based terminals also have the worst latency if you look at benchmarks: lwn.net/Articles/751763/

xterm. Nothing beats it.

cygwin isn't a terminal though

Used to use st but switched to xterm for now. Image rendering is not working as well as on xterm so fuck it.

st is the only right answer
Bloated shitware that even its developers admit is garbage

fbterm in a WMless environment. Otherwise rvxt in X. In every case I use tmux as a proto-tiling environment, and it lets me share a session between multiple terminals.

urxvt but only because everytime I try to patch st it refuses to fucking compile
suckless can be a really shit meme sometimes

>needs KDE to blur

I wish Linux had anything as good as iTerm2 in OSX.

What's so special about it?

I like your setup user

I use rxvt but will probably switch to st soon because it deals with pictures in ranger better.

guake

My nigga

It’s ok man. I realized I should just use tmux anyway.

It's just all around good and does everything, while in linux you have the same set of features spread across different emulators and no single one of them has the full set.

Name some of that "everything" a typical linux terminal lacks.

What compositor do you use? Compton shits the bed when I try it.
