The only reason why I would see someone change emulators is for due to either the performance being shit tier (They are not) or the colors are hard to configure (they are not).
Unless you get some electron shit in your distro prepackaged there's no point when none of them have any killer features worth taking wasting your time over. I only say this from personal experience.
st, only because I'm used to it and already have my own repository. Been tackling a bug triggered by a script I created to spawn a terminal window for something like dmenu. My last commit adds some logging to a random file under /tmp, and magically fixes it. I'd attribute it to a race condition, but AFAIK st is single-threaded.
I use the one that comes with Linux Mint, but I've actually been wanting one that fits the following criteria: >has "Always on top" feature >can disable window frame/borders >adjustable background transparency
This would be nice to have on my laptop when I'm stuck having just one screen. Anybody know a terminal that can do all that?
I just use konsole nowadays since I switched to KDE, and it's plenty featureful/fleshed out on its own, I can't really think of any features I'm missing from other terminals. Having a web search function built straight into the right-click menu is pretty handy, I'm surprised more terminal emulators don't do that. The only time I've ever really felt compelled to switch was when I was experimenting with a bloated-up neovim config, which ran poorly in every terminal emulator except for st and alacritty.
I'm over the age of 25 so whatever the frick my distro comes with

kys
anon... bash and zsh are shells... not terminal emulators....
Why are you using a terminal emulator in the first place? Why not just use PowerShell or the Command Prompt and load bash?
those themselves are terminal emulators, and they lack certain features that some people want e.g. keybinds. i use linux so i just use kitty with zsh
Windows Terminal
Terminator
Based Terminator bros. Been using it for 10 years and going strong. No compulsion to even try anything else. It's perfect.
For me, it's Gnome Terminal, because I use Gnome.
For me, it's Konsole, because I use KDE

Sure, anon. That's what happened.

your window manager should be handling those

Alacritty on linux and wezterm on windows. This combination gives peak glyph rendering.
The best. xfce4-terminal
This, but I don't think it really makes a difference what I use.
Alacritty, because I don't really give a shit, it seemed popular enough here when I started using it, and it's worked fine for me ever since
I have used terminator for awhile. I don't think terminal choice really matter though.
st
whatever cygwin comes with
I think its called mintty?
Konsole, it has tabs.
terminator
just works
>unicode-rxvt not mentioned yet
konsole, even on gn*me when I must use it
you should pick one that has builds on both mac and linux in case you have to use mac for work
cmd exe
tilix when I used ubuntu
Ctrl + Alt + F2
xfce4-terminal, like God intended
