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 have recently jumped head first into the Linux space. I've installed Arch on my daily driver and I've become overwhelmed/overjoyed with my options. I'd like to hear from the community about your Linux favorites.

What is your favorite Terminal Emulator and what have you done to customize it?

LXTerminal.

I don't know if increasing the font size counts as customization. I've got old, tired eyes.

Transparency is also turned on, which I think I did with compton. It was a long time ago and seems to persist through Debian's dist upgrades.

It's worth adding that the entire LXDE suite is great software. It just works. I hope I don't have to give it up any time soon.
