What terminal emulator do you use and why?
I'll start:
I use st ( http://st.suckless.org )
I use it because its less bloated than other terminals and doesn't use annoying configuration Xresources.
>>55174697
rxvt-unicode
It has all the functionality I need, without any of the unnecessary bullshit. It's faster, but still renders reasonably correct.
I tried using st but stopped when I couldn't even scroll up.
i use xterm because i don't care how it looks and it does everything i want.

Termite.
Just works and was pretty easy to customize
Been using sakura for years.
It's light, it works well, and I've never had any problems with it.
>>55174727
Theres scrollback patches on their website you can install them like this:
git checkout -b scrollback
go here: http://st.suckless.org/patches/scrollback and download both patches: scrollback-git and scrollback-mouse-git.
Now move the patches to your st folder
now type: "git apply <scrollback-patch-mouse-name>"
then type "git apply <scrollback-patch-name>"
git commit -am 'Applies scrollback patches'
git checkout master
git rebase scrollback master
then make and sudo make install
>>55174842
>all that bullshit
jesus christ, I use gentoo; just throw me a patch file that I can dump into /etc/portage/patches
I'm too lazy to make my own considering this is a terminal I most likely will never use either way.
Does it even have url selection / opening?
>>55174908
>he fell for the gentoo meme
top kek
>>55174697
urxvt
>why
that's the one I switched to from gnome terminal when I started using a tiling wm. I've no reason to use another one.
>>55174842
>create a new branch
>apply patches
>rebase master on the branch
is this a ruse?
xfce4-terminal (on openbox)
coz it werks
>>55175117
>implying anyone actually knows how to use git
>>55174697
ttys are enough for what I need
>>55175279
what's the point of this shitpost?
gnome-terminal just werks
>>55175053
I used gentoo since before it was a cool meme on /g/
>>55175304
what's the point of using a term emulator ?
>>55175345
I hope you realize that you're also using a terminal emulator. Unless you're using one of pic related.
>>55174742
this desu
>>55174697
>>55174727
rxvt-unicode master race. With tmux it is literally the most glorious terminal
>>55175376
we use what getty spawns for us
it's sufficient
the one that pops up when i press ctrl+t in ubuntu
>>55174908
Just use git format-patch you fucking moron

>>55175238
The only reason you wouldn't know how to use git when you're writing code at least semi-regularly is if you're retarded. It's like using vim and then never reading the manual
>>55175574
I'm not at work
>>55175586
what is mercurial
>>55175551
>using tmux locally
why would you do this to your poor terminal?!
>>55175607
It's cancer
>>55174697
Konsole
>>55175649
Because I often ssh from my laptop and would like to use the same sessions as on the desktop. Other than that, it provides a lot of stuff that rxvt-unicode doesn't, such as pane splitting etc.
>>55175649
What's wrong with that?
gnome-terminal
rxvt because it werks
>>55174768
this. it's modular (vim-like keyshortcuts), which is great.
otherwise urxvt or st. both are good
>>55175684
>pane splitting
this is what a window manager is supposed to be for
>>55175718
well, tmux is basically just a shitty window manager. If you're running it locally (inside an X sessipn), why not user one of the 50 billion window managers that are significantly better than tmux?
I just use whatever comes installed by default.
>>55174697
Why do u even need a x session, script kiddy ?
>>55176205
>ssh from my laptop and would like to use the same sessions as on the desktop
Doesn't do that over an SSH connection lad
>>55176342
>>ssh from my laptop and would like to use the same sessions as on the desktop
What? You can tmux on the desktop and tmux a over SSH and it will be the same screen.
>>55176395
Your sentence is confusing, please repharse
>>55176402
I'll greentext it so you can understand.
>go to desktop
>use tmux
>get tmux window
>go to laptop
>SSH in
>use tmux a
>get the same tmux window that's on the desktop
It's like remote desktop for the terminal.

>>55176395
fuck off if you have nothing useful to contribute
>>55176430
That's literally what I'm doing. I don't understand why you're pointing this out.
I was saying that the WM can't split panes over SSH. tmux can, and that's why I use it.
>>55176456
>>55176465
What the fuck is your damage?
>>ssh from my laptop and would like to use the same sessions as on the desktop
>Doesn't do that over an SSH connection lad
This is literally what was posted and what I responded to.
>>55176439
Useless if u already use a tiling windows manager
>>55176497
I didn't write that assblasted post.
See what I was responding to. This >>55176205 post suggested I should use the WM to handle splitting, but if I want the same terminal sessions over an SSH session and retain the splitting, I need to use a terminal multiplexer.
>>55174908
More reasons to use Gentoo.

xfce's own :^)
Is there a reason to switch?
>>55174727
/thread
>>55174727
either I'm retarded or rxvt-unicode is unable to use glyph fonts that only contain a few characters as a fallback.
I was trying to get PowerlineSymbols to work and it's fucking bullshit
>>55174697
Yakuake.
>>55176499
Unless you're looking for the easiest to use and to customize. In that case it's perfect
Konsole.
>>55174727
>couldn't even scroll up.
tmux
>>55174697
guake
http://guake-project.org/
It has toggle button, transparency and a graphical preferences menu for some other common settings.
