From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have recently jumped head first into the Linux space. I've installed Arch on my daily driver and I've become overwhelmed/overjoyed with my options. I'd like to hear from the community about your Linux favorites.

What is your favorite Terminal Emulator and what have you done to customize it?

I've been using Alacritty for a while. It's fast and does everything I need.

Also using this one for years now, don't see a reason to change, although I see some "foot" in conjunction with wayland quite often.

Second, gotta love the new rust based tools and apps getting developed. Although I've seen some weird formatting issues on windows. Linux version is solid though.

Alacritty is also the terminal that feels small and focused enough for me. Too many other terminals try to do everything like session management, etc.
