The Terminal Question
(lemmy.ml)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah I'm kinda getting that impression. Most of the responses to this post have generally been 'use what your DE ships with' or 'I use something obscure and tailored to this weird specific use case I have'. I've looked at a lot of the suggestions people have given and none of them seem like they would be a noticeable upgrade for me, so I'm content to continue using konsole until I come across a situation that requires me to do something fancy that it can't do.
