I'm looking for a new terminal. What's your favorite one and why? Which one is popular?

Alacritty because it's a minimal black rectangle, perfect for using with a tiling WM
-
foot is also a good choice for a minimal terminal emulator.

You forgot to mention it's wayland only. This was disappointing, it looks like it's got some nice features...
-
Yeah I mean there's a lot of benefits and increased security on Wayland now so it's definitely worth the transition to.

- i'm on xfce so i'd need to change my de
- swhkd seems to be abandoned, and i couldn't get it to run, so i'd need to change a lot about my wm setup on top of moving to sway
- nvidia issues
- permission issues (screen sharing for example)
- i'd also need to replace other tools, shortcuts, etc. so they use the wayland alternatives
Definitely not worth it just to get fractional scaling, and some theoretical security improvements on an OS that's already quite secure. I tried using it for a few weeks on KDE, and I had to go back to x11 for something almost every day.

Weird, I've not required X for anything since I started using it, I also just use my Window Manager to bind hotkeys (usually Sway)
-
I prefer to use sxhkd for all shortcuts except for starting the terminal, and some wm specific commands. It allows me to keep a really short wm config, and have an easier time trying out new ones.
