what is the best linux terminal? I have been using alacritty for years and have been doing well. But I don’t think kitty and st. I was wondering if any new projects have come out in recent years.

    Am I the only one that’s fine with whatever the OS provides out of the box? Like, as long as I can turn the bell off and change the font, I’m chillin, and I have yet to run into a terminal that doesn’t provide those options.

    Curious to hear what drives people to seek out other options (besides tiling, that I understand, I’m a tabs guy myself tho)

    Ptyxis is my current go-to. It can detect available pods or toolboxes (maybe docker too haven’t tested it) and you can open terminals directly into them. It also highlights ssh terms and root shells differently.

    There are a huge number of built-in color schemes as well and I’ve had no trouble finding any configuration option I’ve found myself wanting to look for.

    It’s also available on flathub so it’s easily installed in most distros.
