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.

For me: Wezterm. It does pretty much everything. I don't think Alacritty/Kitty etc. offer anything over it for my usage, and the developer is a pleasure to engage with.
Second place is Konsole -- it does a lot, is easy to configure, and obviously integrates nicely with KDE apps.
Honorable mention is Extraterm, which has been working on cool features for a long time, and is now Qt based.
+1 for Wezterm, it also had image support that Alacritty didn't have, which I needed for Yazi to work.
I've heard good things about Warp too but Wezterm is where I'll be for now.
I wanted to love it, but I keep getting crashes in mixed dpi environments on wayland.
I moved to foot instead. Bare bones, but unobtrusive enough. Shame the scrollbar is jank.
Oh, is that #4948?
Seems likely! Not me, but my experience mirrors it pretty closely
