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.

I want to say Alacritty+zellij but have not even tried that lol.
Konsole. It just works, has profiles etc. I highly recommend to change it to "launch every window in same process" to avoid multiple windows, create a new desktop entry replacing "konsole" with "konsole --new-tab".
And also learn Desktop actions, its very cool!
I have a profile with different colors that starts in my Distrobox.
my example desktop entry
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
TryExec=konsole
Exec=konsole --new-tab
Icon=utilities-terminal
Categories=System;TerminalEmulator;
Actions=FedoraBox;root;ssh;
X-DocPath=konsole/index.html
X-DBUS-StartupType=Unique
X-KDE-AuthorizeAction=shell_access
X-KDE-Shortcuts=Ctrl+Alt+T
StartupWMClass=konsole
Keywords=terminal;console;script;run;execute;command;command-line;commandline;cli;bash;sh;shell;zsh;cmd;command prompt
Name=Konsole
GenericName=Terminal
Comment=Command line access
[Desktop Action FedoraBox]
Name=Distrobox
Icon=fedora-logo-icon
Exec=konsole --profile Fedora-Box
[Desktop Action root]
Name=root Terminal
Icon=folder-root-symbolic
Exec=konsole -e pkexec $SHELL #or define a shell
[Desktop Action ssh]
Name=ssh to X
Icon=folder-remote-symbolic
Exec=konsole -e ssh user@IP:PORT -i /path/to/key
Plasma will still display "open new window" which will instead open a new tab. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+t will also open a new tab, just as opening from Dolphin etc. Perfection!
Note that Konsole will pull in tons of dependencies, you may want to use XFCEs Terminal if you dont want that. Alacritty has no tabs which I find annoying (I hate windows).
Guake. Has been for years. I am in and out the terminal all the time, so F12 works well for me. Plus I used to play Quake and used the in game terminal to do all kinds of things. Plus I'm an old RISC OS kid and F12 was the key to get the "star line".
Would be foot, but I'm using a font with ligatures so it's kitty
Wezterm. It has all the features one could wish for
Terminology with the Nyan Cat cursor! :3 ^.^
Favourite? Windows terminal.
Favourite Linux compatible? Vs code integrated terminal.
The one I actually use on Linux because viscose integrated terminal is not standalone? Konsole, just because it's the default In kde.
EDIT: may I know why I got downvoted? Just because I have an unpopular preference? Is this reddit?
