I’m looking for a new terminal. What’s your favorite one and why? Which one is popular?

    I like Konsole.

    It comes with KDE, supports tabs, themes, and loads very fast.

    I don’t really need more from a terminal than that. When I, rarely, need more advanced features like window splitting and session management I also use Zellij (previously I used tmux).

      Konsole does window splitting as well, doesn’t it?

      Yakuake is similar but drop down based (like quake). I love having a hot key to access my terminal (tabs, splits, and all). Especially when editing in vim and looking at docs in Firefox it’s such a buttery smooth workflow.
