Or choose Konsole! KDE's classic terminal emulator that has dozens of tricks up its sleeve that make working on the command line easy, fun and productive:

KDE Gear ⚙️ 21.08: An imaginary ad for Konsole

Why should I use Konsole instead of another terminal Emulator?

As in what are the differences? Or what does Konsole do better or different?

The video linked above answers a some of those questions. It is only 40 seconds long.

@kde @[email protected] I love Konsole and all its features but the missing GPU acceleration is a blocker for me 😢 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411579
411579 – GPU accelerated terminal

@phasslr @kde @[email protected] Is text rendering too slow though? I don't notice any difference between Konsole and Wezterm, which uses OpenGL, and I use neovim with tons of bells and whistles.

Maybe running a terminal benchmark would give us some data to discuss. I did it some time ago, but I can't find the results right now (I'm on a plane).

@codewiz @kde @[email protected] I exclusively used Konsole for several months but after trying out Kitty I wasn't able to go back anymore. It is noticeable for me in neovim but really hard to pin down what makes it 'feel better'. Any suggestions for real-life-like benchmarks?

@phasslr @kde @[email protected] Found my benchmark results, but I didn't test Kitty:

Attached: 1 image vtebench results for #Konsole (left), #Wezterm (center) and #Alacritty (right). All three were running full-screen and configured to use the same font and approximately the same point size (11.0). Wezterm was built from sources using "cargo build --release". The other two are distro binaries from #Fedora Rawhide. Note that Wezterm (the slowest of the three) has a gradient background). It's also a git snapshot that recently switched its default rendering backend to #WebGPU.

Je m'en suis déjà servi, c'est génial et en plus intégrer à Dolphin, super cool 😎
@kde @[email protected] its useful, but it feels much worse than it was before...looks like so many useless operations, no caching, and actually less readable graph
@nictakiego @kde @[email protected]
Are you talking about filelight?

@nictakiego @kde @[email protected] What are your objections and suggestions?

May be I can just work on it.... File a bug report?

Can you kindly list them?

@soumyadghosh @kde @[email protected] I already forgot old filelight and its features, but as I say, that experience was better than this one currently. I will try to find/install old filelight then give you feedback. Aah how unlucky just recently i removed clonezilla image containing it.
@nictakiego @kde @[email protected] Please feel free to ping me in matrix or anywhere. You can get my socials from my website.
@kde @[email protected] this app genuinely saved me from bricking my computer
@kde @[email protected] @LabPlot hold the phone - gui for matplot 😳
