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.

Usually whatever fits in best with the DE I'm using. I'm on Pop!, so that's Gnome Terminal currently. I'm excited to see when System76's Pop!_OS's COSMIC Desktop will bring with an alacritty-based terminal emulator.
I'm on pop, swapped to kitty. It's a good step up over GNOME's
I'm going to be honest, as long as the terminal does its job reasonably well and with good readability then I'm pretty much satisfied. It's one of those tools that I want to just work well the first time. I've become a man of simple tastes in my (not so) old age.
