Wezterm is my favourite because it's really configurable and supports ligatures. Konsole is also quite nice. Generally I'm in favour of using whichever one comes with your DE, or Wezterm if you use a WM.

Kitty is probably the most popular one, but I don't like it cause ~~no ligature support~~ ~~no acceleration~~ it claims it has good font management, but fonts never worked properly in my experience.

Alacritty and Foot are also popular for their performance. Alacritty does have some stability issues though.

What are the contents of /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts? Also don't forget to reboot after changing the hostname!

I've used GNOME's terminal, Konsole, kitty, st, cool-retro-term, Alacritty, foot, and Wezterm.

The things I want from a terminal emulator are:

  • Ligatures
  • Customisability
  • Icon support / good font management
  • High-ish performance

Wezterm is afaik the only one with all of those.

Konsole is actually a pretty good terminal emulator, its big downside is that it looks horribly out-of-place in anything other than Plasma. So as long as you stay on Plasma, Konsole is a good choice. If you ever move to a WM or something, I recommend foot or Wezterm.

Alacritty has some degree of customisability, Konsole has more, but either way it's nothing when compared to Wezterm. It is really fast though!

The thing that skews the duel in favour of Konsole for me is the ligature support. I use neovim for programming and we all know code ligatures are a godsend, so ligature support in the terminal is very much a thing that I want.

Brendan Eich is a bit of a twat. Not that Mitchell Baker is much better.

Note to everyone (like me) who didn't immediately understand this was satire:
