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.

    “Terminal emulator” does exactly what it says, it emulates a terminal but in your modern computer.

    Below is an image of what a terminal looks like (taken from the Wikipedia page I mentioned):

    The DEC VT100, a widely emulated computer terminal

    Of course, since nowadays these aren’t used anymore, “terminal” and “terminal emulator” now have the same meaning outside of specific contexts.
