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.
st. It just works. I’m always opening and closing terminals, and 90% of the stuff I use have’s a TUI. st launches before I can even notice, under 4GB of RAM, and the entire install is less than a MiB.
I’ve been scrolling with no hope to see st anywhere but here it is! Only mentioned twice for now but this little guy deserves so much love. Yes, you have to build it (i.e. patch it) but that’s actually it’s beauty. You get the exact terminal you want, nothing more, nothing less. If you’re looking for power and lightweight this is your guy.
Coupled with tmux and you’re the God of your system :)
