Which is a shame, as some of those offerings have impressive feature sets. That's because I personally keep about 12 different terminal sessions going at a given time, and electron is just too greedy for that kind of usage. There's a glaring omission: I haven't mentioned any of the electron-based projects like hyper. Many might consider the existence of tmux to make splits/panes a non-issue for the terminal itself. Many of them (including some of the ones I highlighted above like konsole) seem to be configurable only via mouse, which is beyond annoying for a terminal emulator. Suckless (st) for example keeps it's configuration in a header file meaning every config change requires a recompile. but they all have glaring flaws, sometimes even worse than the above. There are a lot of other worthy terminal emulators: rxvt-unicode, suckless, termite, etc. Cons: 256 color only, no drop down, package in repositories is extremely out of date and installing/compiling the latest version of the EFL dependencies literally takes half an hour. Has resizable independent panes (vertical and horizontal), tabs, transparency, shell integration, but it lacks true color support (maintainer says he will not be adding it) which is becoming increasingly annoying as a heavy neovim/ncurses user. It by far has the best image handling of any terminal emulator I've ever used and has been my daily driver for a couple of years now. The default terminal of the Enlightenment desktop. Cons: no background images (there's an issue open), no vertical splits without configuration, no drop down, and while it has packages for several distros ubuntu isn't one of them (have to manually install deps and compile from source). KittyĪ terminal that AFAICT was just written by one guy with a surprisingly rich feature set: has true color, horizontal splits, transparency, shows images, shell integration. Cons: no hot-keyed drop down window, no independent panes, handling of background images can be wonky. for kubuntu) has true color, tabs, background image, transparency. Cons: no built-in way to preview images, it's handling of background images can be wonky. It has full true color support, a dropdown hotkey, transparency, background image, panes, tabs, shell integration. So here are a few terminals that are probably closest to iterm2 in terms of feature parity: Qterminal I cannot find a single linux terminal that completely matches this feature set (much less all the ones I didn't mention) but there are linux terminals that come pretty darn close, and can do things that iterm2 can't do (like set per window/pane background images). I haven't even come close to listing them all, although these are the ones I use/care about the most.
