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.

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.

When I used Linux more than I do now I liked tilix, now on the rare occasions I do I get by with the built in gnome terminal.

Not the question, but I really like windows terminal on windows, I use that for work all the time
