What terminal do you use?

I'm running Git Bash since the day I installed Git. It's been awesome since it's been stable, fast and I prefer the UNIX-like environment.

What terminal do you use and why?

I use either of the following:

  • Terminal (default OS X terminal) with some customization using oh my zsh and Fig (see fig.sh)
  • Tabby (now also available for OS X) as you can configure different types of terminal and have different layouts. So one terminal can be running bash, and other zsh and they all can have different themes. My only regret at the moment is that Fig is not supported by Tabby.

I stopped using iTerm2 a while back as its pros were shading away but not it's memory usage ;-)

iTerm2 on Mac OS and Terminus, now Tabby on Windows.

The 2nd is a recent discovery having a whole lot of features such as selection of shells (Powershell, Git Bash, etc) per connection, tabbed support, saving sessions, themes (most popular ones for iTerm2, Linux ones work for Terminus) and lastly, customisable config using CSS and YAML exportable for backups.

Never looked back at Windows terminal, putty, MobaXterm since 😁

For Linux I use gnome and have gnome-terminal pre-installed so I use that and for the shell itself, I have zsh with zinit setup and then with starship as the theme and with windows I have Windows Terminal installed and I'm usually using powershell (if not, wsl ubuntu with the zsh setup), I have yet to try starship with powershell so might try that soon.

I use Konsole, it is the default terminal on Manjaro Linux KDE.
Why? It was pre-installed on the system + I had no troubles with it.

Got yourself covered on all sides, good job! 👍
How is the transition between them? How often do you change platforms?

The Dec VT09 is a great terminal. Really customizable too - I can draw on it and add stickers.
