 No.606

What terminal do you use, Alice? Why?


>Terminator

It does what I need it to and it works well with my i3 config.

 No.608

Typically Termite for any tiling window managers and xterm for everything else.

 No.609

Generally whatever my DE's default terminal is unless it's cancerous, then it tends to get replaced with the XFCE terminal or just straight XTerm. I'm not terribly picky so long as I can hide scrollbars and menu. Bonus points for transparency, but not essential.

 No.610

urxvt, I picked up some neat color-scheme at some point on some site with a bunch of themes. I should probably provide a link later.

Why urxvt? Light-weight (crappy hardware makes that important) and it does the job. I still need to get that perl extension for kill-and-yank.

 No.612

I use tilix (formerly terminix). I use it as a dropdown tiled term bound to the menu key. Works well enough and is convenient.

urxvt. it's broken, but everything else is more broken

that we still don't have a single nice term anywhere out there is pretty sad

 No.614

iTerm2, because it has a borderless option (which the default MacOS terminal doesn't seem to have) and does what i need it for well enough.

 No.616

another rxvt-unicode ist here.

it works, it renders characters ok, mostly. the ones I need, its not really ugly, perl extensions are nice,

 No.618

Do you mean terminal emulator?
I would love to use an actual terminal but unfortunately I have neither an actual terminal nor a way to connect one to a modern computer. Maybe I will mess around with the data lines in a DP cable and make an adapter to connect a VT100 as one of my Engineering projects.

As far as terminal emulators go however, I prefer to use st since its the only one that doesn't have 100K+ lines of bloat. Its too bad that fontconfig is a complete pile of suck that means that if you just use it on its own without reimplementing half its functions it causes crashes but fortunately its only in certain corner cases.

 No.619

BIOS console, sometimes the framebuffer console but I don't really have a use for it besides displaying more text on screen.
I do like my 80x24 format though

 No.624

>>606
I personally use sakura just bc it was the first one in the list which caught my eye, lol.
It simple and straightforward, but for some reason it cant work normaly with proportional fonts, at least in my setup. Good thing that I prefer monospace, no problems with these.

 No.625

>>618
+1 for st. st/tmux in particular, for scrollback.

 No.631

xfce4 terminal. it's easy to customize.

 No.634

Termite is really nice. I only have experience with it using i3 and it's worked better for me than urxvt. Its defaults are almost exactly what I wrote tens of config lines in urxvt to do, plus it's a lot easier to configure anyway. My only complaint with it is that it reports itself as "xterm-termite" to programs which fucks stuff up sometimes.

What's the difference really?
I find yakuake to be the most convenient, having played games with a console most of my childhood.

 No.640

xfce-terminal cause it's default

>>613
what's wrong with them all?

>>609
>xterm
i would, but i like to copy & paste though.

 No.671

>>624
I used that one too for a long time (for the same reason as you). I think the developer who wrote it stopped adding commits to the project a while back, though. I could be wrong on that.

But I kept running into bugs, especially with long lines that extend past the length of the screen.

Its nice though, because its pretty simple and clean design and doesn't have annoying keyboard shortcuts.

 No.768

I use urxvt and st. Both are good, but ST is what I sometimes need to use when soykaf in urxvt doesn't work. So st is a lot more simple. but urxvt has more features that actually work.

It's a weird setup, but to be fair urxvt is used the vast majority of the time for me, at least 90%

 No.769

>>635
Just about the pic.
what is PS/2 .. doh.

 No.773

urxvt with tmux if I need to scroll

 No.834

mate-terminal because its default.
I want to try urxvt sometime, but I'm lazy.

 No.839

Konsole, because I like Plasma.

 No.845

rxvt-unicode here, transparency support and renders everything nicely. I haven't really tried any competitors as it has always catered to my needs.

 No.853

One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits, and you know you're going to fall…

 No.871

Was using st for a long time but the lack of scrolling got to me, now I'm back to urxvt

 No.872

>>606
st w/ zsh + powerline
>>612
(and tmux for scrollback :-p) also, if you ever wanna go back:
