Surprised nobody mentioned Yakuake. Just discovered it's just for kde. Been using it for years. It hides at the top of my screen and slides down when the cursor hits the top. Full desktop when not used and can access it no matter which app I'm using.
Linux
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.

ghostty looks promising, but it's in "closed beta" for now. When it's released, it will be public and open source. :)
Foot is the best
Foot because it's sway default. It's also configurable, has shortcuts and sixel support.
Xterm for me. As others have shown there are other ones that are newer than that but Xterm has become my favorite.
all of the fancy features that other terminals provide, I get with Tmux, so any emulator for me. I like transparent themes and that's easy to set up in Alacritty, so that's what I usually get
I run multiple terminal apps. I thought I would try a few, and I never deleted any of them.
I consider st a great choice when using i3 or dwm. Customizing it takes time, but RAM usage is what I usually check and in case of st it is comically small.
