Alacritty, Konsole, or something else? Which terminal emulator do you recommend?
Alacritty, Konsole, or something else? Which terminal emulator do you recommend?
So, Konsole shipped by default with KDE Plasma, my current Desktop Environment. While I don't have a problem with it, I am interested in what other people are using, because there very likely is something better out there.
Specifically I've seen talk of Kitty and Alacritty, although I've also read that the dev of Kitty is allegedly kind of a jerk, so I am specifically interested in how Konsole matches up to Alacritty in your experience, but other suggestions and general terminal emulator discussion are also welcome!
You're viewing a single thread.
Konsole and Kitty are objectively better than alacrity. So it's a question of which of those to use. Konsole if you use the Breeze application style, and Kitty if you don't. Konsole has the best keybinds and it actually has a scrollbar, but kitty doesn't require breeze.
Konsole doesn't require Breeze. It's themable, like most KDE applications. It does ship with a Breeze terminal color scheme, but that's just the default. Many more are available out of the box and creating new ones is easy.
QT apps don't look right without breeze imo
