I’ve always just used konsole or gnome terminal. Never really looked into what else is available. Tried cool-retro-term the other day, but the novelty wore off pretty fast for me.
Curious to see if there’s a terminal someone swears by and refuses to use anything else.
In overly simple terms
It’s a terminal app on your desktop, e.g. alacritty, konsole, kitty, terminator, urxvt, etc.
As opposed to the terminal that your computer would boot into it you didn’t have a desktop environment installed.
