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.

This doesn't even agree with the table at the link. For example, Konsole supports changing foreground color.

One column that should be added is IME support. Kitty, for example, is a very capable terminal emulator, but has big issues with Chinese/Korean/Japanese input, rendering it unusable for a large portion of potential users.

^1^ Unavailable as multiplexers (like tmux or screen) can be connected to multiple terminals (with different color settings) at the same time.

Tilix [https://gnunn1.github.io/tilix-web/] is missing from the list. My terminal of choice for the last (I lost count) however many years. Integrates nicely with gnome3+

Alacrity doesn't follow my OS colour theme which is pretty shitty tbh, but it's a really good project. uwu
