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 like Terminator,
for it's ability to split one terminal window into as much as you want:
https://gnome-terminator.org/
In combination with Fish shell,
for it's auto completion + syntax highlighting:
https://fishshell.com/
And lastly, BobTheFish,
a nice git-aware powerline theme to go along with it:

Love me some fish! Though for more complex data processing, I'm working on learning nushell. Being able to work with more complex data structures is amazing.

kitty terminal + zsh shell, two fast and customizable tools
iterm2 is near perfect on macOS, for Linux I usually use Alacritty or Foot
Call me lazy if you like, but I use GNOME terminal. Comes as standard with my distro. Does what I need. Supports fonts that aren't pixel fonts and has various look and feel tweaks accessible by GUI if I really want to get in there. I do that once after every fresh install and it's been a while since then.
Given that I loved a bit of Quake back in the day, you'd think I'd like drop down terminals like ddterm and Guake (which might not work on Wayland?), but weirdly no. I like it in a box I can move around.
I also keep the ancient xterm installed just in case and for when I get nostalgic for the old pixel fonts, but it's not exactly my go-to.
QTerminal, xterm, and of course, the good ol' Linux console when I don't wanna do anything graphical.
terminator was my go to for the longest time. Nowadays, I just use default GNOME Terminal. I just need things to work and not waste time tinkering.
