This post is an introduction to configuring WezTerm based on the setup that I eventually landed on. ... I find most exciting about WezTerm is the flexibility of its Lua config, so we’ll be focusing on that. ... By the end of it all, we’ll have a terminal that looks like this:

A good looking terminal emulator which mimics the old cathode display...

cool-retro-term is a terminal emulator which mimics the look and feel of the old cathode tube screens. It has been designed to be eye-candy, customizable, and reasonably lightweight.

It uses the QML port of qtermwidget (Konsole): https://github.com/Swordfish90/qmltermwidget.

This terminal emulator works under Linux and macOS and requires Qt5. It's suggested that you stick to the latest LTS version.

This is cosmic-term, a very WIP project that takes the alacritty_terminal crate providing the majority of terminal code but rewrites the renderer to support additional features such as bidirectional text and ligatures. It will support both software and GPU rendering, and will have additional UI sugar provided by libcosmic as they are implemented.

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!

This repo has the information on the color supported by various terminal emulators.

Check the info to see whether your favorite terminal emulator supports truecolor or not.

P.S. My favorite alacritty supports true color
