What’s up guys this is Harshith and in this article, I am going to share a few Linux Emulators you have to try.
Default Terminal Emulator
Every Desktop Environment comes with its own terminal emulator. The most popular DE’s are GNOME, KDE, i3, XFCE, and more…
I have discussed about popular distros here
Konsole
Konsole is the default terminal emulator for KDE-based Distros, and it is a very fast and easily customizable terminal and the newer version also supports spitting which is very useful for developers.
Compatability
| Image Rendering(w3m) | Icons support(Powerline) | Color Support |
| Yes(with minor issues) | Yes | Yes(256) |
GNOME terminal
As the name says it’s the default emulator for GNOME-based Distros.
I am not a fan of GNOME so I might talk about a lot of small disadvantages
It isn’t as customizable as Konsole and it is not used by Power users so there is not much you can change
GNOME is a heavy weight DE and
Compatability
| Image Rendering(w3m) | Icons support(Powerline) | Color Support |
| Yes(with many issues) | Yes(with issues) | Yes(256) |
Urxvt
rxvt-unicode is a customizable terminal emulator forked from rxvt. Features of rxvt-unicode include international language support through Unicode, transparency, the ability to display multiple font types and support for Perl extensions.
*from arch wiki
I use urxvt because it supports all kinds of tools I need like powerline icons for Powerlevel10k, logo-ls and image rendering for ranger, neofetch, w3m and color support to match my wallpaper
There are many other emulators like -> Kitty, XFCE Terminal, XTerm
