Linux
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.

Foot is the best
Foot because it's sway default. It's also configurable, has shortcuts and sixel support.
ghostty looks promising, but it's in "closed beta" for now. When it's released, it will be public and open source. :)
I run multiple terminal apps. I thought I would try a few, and I never deleted any of them.
Xterm for me. As others have shown there are other ones that are newer than that but Xterm has become my favorite.
I tried Wezterm and it's not bad, but I had a bit of trouble configuring it and it seems a bit heavy to me. Recently, in order to use certain applications, I was forced to abandon alacritty and switch to kitty, and I must say I really like it. The tabs are not very useful to me since I use a tiling window manager and tmux, but it has a lot of interesting features and is really easy to configure. I didn't remember it being so well done. Although alacritty seems to me to be the best due to its simplicity and minimalism. Just my humble opinion.
all of the fancy features that other terminals provide, I get with Tmux, so any emulator for me. I like transparent themes and that's easy to set up in Alacritty, so that's what I usually get
I consider st a great choice when using i3 or dwm. Customizing it takes time, but RAM usage is what I usually check and in case of st it is comically small.
