So, Konsole shipped by default with KDE Plasma, my current Desktop Environment. While I don’t have a problem with it, I am interested in what other people are using, because there very likely is something better out there.

Specifically I’ve seen talk of Kitty and Alacritty, although I’ve also read that the dev of Kitty is allegedly kind of a jerk, so I am specifically interested in how Konsole matches up to Alacritty in your experience, but other suggestions and general terminal emulator discussion are also welcome!

    Foot but its limited for the averaged user. While it does support most standards its got no ui, configuration is done through a text editor and foots config file.

    Personally I like it. Light weight and robust

    Kitty is a great choice But I also enjoyed konsole for its SSH Alias’s

      One feature foot is missing is ligatures. So if that is important to you, you’ll need to look for an alternative.

      The dev of foot is an awesome person though, so that could offset the missing feature for some :-)
