I have recently jumped head first into the Linux space. I’ve installed Arch on my daily driver and I’ve become overwhelmed/overjoyed with my options. I’d like to hear from the community about your Linux favorites.

What is your favorite Terminal Emulator and what have you done to customize it?

  • On regular desktop environments I really like Guake - it’s a drop down terminal emulator similar to how old games used to do it. It’s nice for quick use here and there. Though these days I just run tilling wm with xfce-terminal. It gets the job done and still looks good.

    • Omg. I thought I might read the whole comment list and not see anyone else using guake. I was starting to think something was wrong with it. I’ve used it for years, and for my very simple needs, it just works. And I like that it’s always there when I need it, hides away when I don’t.
