Linux

Terminator isn't supported anymore as far as I remember. A good substitution for it is Tilix. I'd been using the latter for a while but recently I switched to the new default terminal in Fedora (it had weird name that I unable to remember) and Tilling Shell extension for Gnome.

From a look at the documentation it’s just a fancy terminal. If you don’t really care about theming or image rendering then it’s not something you need. If you’re trying to rice a UI like hyprland then it looks like a good option.

Personally, I don’t see much added value over whatever the default terminal is but I’ve never been one to mess with things that do what they are supposed to.

Afaik terminator is unmaintained but some people still use it. I've heard of Tilix as a good alternative but can't tell you if that's the case as I haven't used either. I change terminals only if there's a feature my current one doesn't have.

I used alacritty (because that's what came with the distro I used, ArcoLinux) until I switched to Wayland where alacritty font scaling was inconsistent across Xorg and Wayland sessions (and I was still switching between the two). So I went to kitty, until I was convinced to switch to foot because it seemed to open faster so I went to it. Then I switched to COSMIC which doesn't let me remove window decorations server-side and neither kitty nor foot supported their removal client side, so I switched to alacritty which did.

I will switch to COSMIC terminal for convenience (as I use COSMIC) when they fix their font rendering (it's like old Alacritty, only that modern Alacritty has fixed it but cosmic-term still hasn't).

Prefer baratty

Edit: baratty -> bara tiddy
This is a very good joke

Terminal emulators are pretty niche. I also tend to stick with what's included with the DE. I've only used a third party terminal when I used gnome. Blackbox, as the one included in gnome at the time was still using gtk3.
