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.

I'd really like one that let me see options for the command I'm typing. Like if I type "dd" it shows me some of the options for the dd command like "if=" or "conv=". Is there a fancy term like that?
Using fish (shell, not emulator) gets you some of that.
That's not something a terminal emulator should do - it's a feature that belongs in your shell :)
The warp one seems to do that.
But that isn't the job of the terminal, but the shell, isn't it? I don't know how they'd do that, but it feels like they'd have to assume a lot of stuff. On top of that, if you use multiplexers like tmux or embeded terminals like in emacs, for example, you'd most probably lose some of the features.
I don't get how we need anything else than just a terminal that is fast, supports 256 colors (or true color, if you're feeling fancy,) and changing the font.
