Linux Terminal Emulator Recommendation Anonymous 09/04/2022 (Sun) 23:11:03 No. 9622 >>10944 >>11177 >>17534 >>17656 >>17875 >>17894 >>18152
Any good terminal emulators ?
URXVT.
Windows Terminal. Just ssh into your linux box
>>10286 Why even bother with a windows terminal? It takes less time to wipe it and shove in linux with a USB thing or whatever than it will to buy a phone for activate your copy and then worry about how long it's going to take to install, let alone reboot and keep updating when you're in the middle of typing something into your linux box. Just like walk to the other side of the room and type it in to your linux box, and throw the windows thing out the window so it stops soaking up your bandwidth already.
>>10286 I'm giggling like a moron because I'm imagining a guy with a PC running Linux whispering "ssh! ssh! be quiet! ssh!" to it. I'm retarded, please continue with your technical discussion.
>>10323 Use ssh -X to tunnel the X connection and now you'll be able to use the terminal for more than just terminal things. This used to often result in summoning the devil, but modern networks and processors are fast enough to make it highly viable except when running something made in china that is actually mining bitcoins in the background. advanced mode: use this to ssh -X into localhost under different usernames to segregate your life rather than intermixing them all.
>>10324 You gotta be careful, man. I hear those UNIX and Linux guys have to deal with daemons all the time, I tell you h-wut.
Unless you need 4 different fonts to display hebrew text in 6 gorillon colors you can go with pretty much anything. Popular choices include xterm, urxvt, st, alacritty, mlterm, and konsole.
>>10333 I worship cron, whom I believe to be a cronos, one of the titans before all gods and deamons. I even have a cron job that does a killall on deamons that just won't die, like snap and that fucking thing that reports everything back to base for no reason even though I thought I uninstalled it.
>>10335 I don't know wtf happened (I drink A LOT) but for some reason my battle station started booting into a text mode terminal the way things used to be. I have literally no problems with this because I think it's like a nigger defeater like the one I have in my car because it requires that you know how to jockey a stick around to select the gears. One ancient curse word and I'm straight back in to X.
Kitty Termite A lot of others you choose Config it to make it confy

Well, st does everything that _I_ need a terminal emulator to do, which is to use Inconsolata as the font face, start quickly, and allow tmux to run without fucking shit up with some stupid keybindings.
>>10410 >battle station btfo
>>10410 >it requires that you know how to jockey a stick around to select the gears pray someone like me doesn't steal your car. I can drive a manual just well enough to burn out your clutch and strip out your gears. It's gonna be an expensive repair when the cops find your car abandoned in a ditch somewhere
>>10902 Clutch is an easy fix, but probably the least of my worries if you ditch it.
>>9622 (OP) I pretty much use Terminator almost exclusively these days. Occasionally Konsole or Gnome Terminal (depending on which machine I'm on) if I only have one or two things to do, but if I'm going to be on for a while - then Terminator is it. Have it setup now where it opens multiple sessions at once and gives me a lot of screen space to work with.
>>10902 Is this board full of Maguire-pretender?
I pretty much only use Alacritty or Kitty.
gnome-terminal is perfectly fine
(7.60 KB 256x256 .png)

Kitty
>>9622 (OP) I like wezterm https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/. It's fast and looks nice. Not sure how unique it is but the SSH multiplexing can be nice. When you make a new tab you'll still be in the same directory on the remote server.
>>11153 Cute kot
>>11177 Supports sixel
Contour
>>11153 seconding kitty.
Alacritty works fine and supports image viewing with ueberzugpp. Kitty has OPT-OUT analytics and the project leader does not want to change it, which is a red sign, but it's usable enough as a program in itself. Wezterm is often recommended, but I found it to be a little heavy and prone to crashing.
>>9622 (OP) terminal emulators are garbage obsolete software. use emacs as the text-based interface to your computer if you want true freedom and power.
>>17534 But how do I rice my emacs to look like a cool hacker console?
>>9622 (OP) It doesn't matter just use whatever came with your distro. The rest is a distraction.
>>10286 This is what I do. It is the best experience of using Linux. You can also use it with WSL. Windows Terminal feels very solid.
>>9622 (OP) Alacritty because it's simple. I used st for a bit, but recompiling anytime I want to change something gets annoying. Plus alacritty config file is easier to make changes to. Though overall, I generally don't care for the most part.
>>9622 (OP) just use konsole
Yakuake, it's ultra convenient with a keybind
(3.69 MB 1280x720 yakuake.webm)

>>17905 Came here to post this
>>9622 (OP) The default.
st if X11 alacritty if wayland
>>10409 I worship CROM
>>17656 I use the one built into my file manager
>>18375 Realizing that I can press f4 in dolphin to open a terminal in the file manager has been life changing for me
Ghostty. >>17905 >>18014 What does it do better than guake?
>>18614 QT based instead of GTK based. Yes that's an objective improvement. Also older so might be more stable and have more features, but I can't be sure of that because I haven't used guake.
Emacs M-x ansi-term.
