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'm reconsidering my terminal emulator and was curious what everyone was using.

Not sure if you knew, but Yakuake is very similar to tilde from what I've heard and has worked flawlessly for me on Wayland.

I have, I think the one time I tried it (5 years ago, on a different machine, os and X11), it wasn’t snappy enough. Probably time to go back and check it out!

Guake has this annoying bug on wayland gnome where the interface complains that ‘keybindings can’t be set’, so you control it through custom keybindings that run terminal commands to show and hide the terminal.
