What terminal emulator do you guys use?

After the end of Termite, I was looking for a minimalistic terminal that used VTE and is compatible with Xorg/Wayland.

Tried kitty and alacritty, even though they had its quirks and xfce4-terminal, that is based on VTE but not minimalistic.

Found kermit (github.com/orhun/kermit) and it's a pretty good terminal emulator that is pretty minimalistic and based on VTE like Termite.

Honestly speaking there is not too much of a difference from one terminal emulator to one another. Unless you want font ligatures or if you pick something so minimal that does not support scrolling and similar basic features.
Use whatever.

My problem with alacritty and kitty was that I always had to do some configuration in most servers I handle with SSH.

With VTE-based terminal emulators always worked fine.

foot on sway :)

st, it just works

i really liked st, but i left it because it has no scrollback. I tried the scrollback patch but it had weird quirks and didn't really work well. Also suckless scroll didn't work very well either.

>b-but it's bloated
it works, you have to configure it to look good, but it works. (also vte is bloated as well soooo)

alternatively, a fork is being maintained, see
