I’m using Gnome on Fedora and was wondering what terminal everyone’s using? When I had a Mac I really liked iTerm2 and was hoping to find a suitable Linux version, but so far no such luck. I’ve tried Guake but I can’t get the F12 binding to work.
Preferably, I’d like to find a terminal that can display system stats the same way as iTerm2.
I tend to do a lot of remote terminal from windows so mobaxterm and vs code terminal…
Tilix is nice, other than that I tend to just use whichever is packaged
foot with foot-server in the background, instantly opens
Alacritty with ohmyzsh
I was in the same boat, w iTern on my work Mac. I ended up with guake for drop-down term, and WezTerm for my terminal app. I use OMZSH for my shell w p10k for my theme. Dope as hell.

Runs way snappier then Starship, looks similar.
Fish is okay too for a shell.
Yakuake. F12 in, F12 out. Or in my case Fn+F12 because laptop.
But I’d like a plain old physical teletype.
I’ve used quite a few different ones (such as Alacritty and Kitty), both my preferred DE’s native terminals are nice (Konsole and
gnome-terminal/kgx) but as of recently I’ve been trying out Black Box and I’m enjoying it so far!It supports the colored title bar indicators for SSH / Sudo (purple / red respectively) which is one of those small things but I appreciate it.
kgxsupports it, but doesn’t really have any customization options.footif on Wayland.stif on Xorg. But I’d love something likefootwithtmuxbuilt-in.Kitty on Linux and macOS. Works fine, but you have to install the terminal profile on some systems which is tedious (but easy).
Also, everyone should be using mosh/mobile shell as it’s awesome.
On my main workstation I use Kitty, but everywhere else I use the Chrome Secure Shell Extension.
I too use iterm2 on Mac, and have been looking for the Linux alternative. Going to check out what others have said.
Try WezTerm and Guake!
Ok, thanks
Glad to help!
Either xfce-terminal or st

I like Alacritty with the Fish shell
I use that, plus https://starship.rs/
Starship is really nice. I install it everywhere I use a terminal
Add tmux to the mix and you’ve just described my perfect setup.
I go for Zellij nowadays, it comes out of the box about the same as I get tmux into after a bunch of tweaking. If you like barebones tmux though you might not like Zellij.
I swapped alacrity for kitty and then foot, but same. Wezterm is nice to. But a little on the heavy side.
What made you move from each one? I run Kitty+Zsh on my main distro & Alacritty+fish on my gaming distro, but I can barely tell a difference.
I use ranger and images work better in kitty and more recently in foot as well. And foot is lighter and faster than both.
I like kitty a lot
