    How do you get a terminal app that’s cool and user-friendly? Any recommendations?

      Kitty is also a good example ! Very customizable but maybe less user friendly to begin with.

      Install some terminal apps

      Examples:

      https://github.com/clangen/musikcube

      https://github.com/yorukot/superfile

      This is the font I use

      https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/tree/master/patched-fonts/Meslo/M-DZ

      I also use ghostty because it’s themeable, I found adding transparency helped me because i can have whatever I need to see under the terminal (helps for command cheatsheets)

      Konsole and yakuake. Bear in mind that the terminal I was comparing them to was Windows’ CMD.EXE, and anything is better than that.

      Yakuake is a Quake-style terminal, which means that you can open and close it with an F-key, and it scroll down from the top of the screen. This is both cool-looking and convenient. I like to have some window transparency, so that I can see through the terminal window somewhat. I also like to use a nerd font like Fantasque Sans Mono.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
