Curious what terminal emulators people use/recommend? I’m using Alacritty myself, but want to try other ones

    Currently using wezterm, mostly because it supports font ligatures and alacritty doesn’t (I really like the fancy symbols haha). I do use the window management in wezterm, but I’d go back to tmux if alacritty implements ligatures.

    At the moment I like foot because it’s simple and powerful. I did some benchmarks running the notcurses demo with both foot and kitty on my pretty lightweight mini pc and foot ran significantly faster, but mainly I just prefer its balance of power and minimalism over other stuff I’ve tried so far.

    urxvt, like a lot of other folks here. Everytime I try something else I end up back at urxvt because there’s some feature that another terminal doesn’t support, fonts don’t render at the same size, etc.

      Seconded. It’s light and fast. You can add plugins that are useful. I use it with i3, and the tiling abilities of i3 with a simple terminal emulator is bliss, imo.
