In KDE I use Yakuake most, then Konsole. In LxQt I use QTerminal Drop Down most, then QTerminal.

kitty. This is the first terminal that satisfied me in my life. It really is helpful.
As a Japanese I've been using terminals that support Japanese from the beginning, long before the universal acceptance/deployment of Unicode. (Mostly two-byte, but sometimes other multi-byte encodings were necessary. The situation was far more complex than iso-8859-*.)
My history looks like
(xterm? ->) kterm (k not German, korean nor KDE, but "kanji") -> mlterm (another Multi-Lingual terminal) -> rxvt-unicode (meh) -> kitty (since 2020) |

| On my gentoo server I almost never run a GUI terminal (I don't even think I have one installed), but I will use xterm to ssh in from a GUI box, and use tmux on the server. |

In short, yes, but depends a little on what 'plasma' means here exactly.
The kde-apps/konsole package is not tied to the full Plasma desktop, or require running the Plasma desktop to be able to use it.
You can even use the KDE window manager, KWin, with a different desktop environment such as LXQt for example.

It doesn't need wayland and work into fvwm-crystal, but doesn't seam to understand the EWMH freedesktop hints and, as a consequence, insist to get a size wider than the screen at startup by default. Well, the preferences are a little bit tricky, but I succeeded to make its window smaller at startup.

Gnome-termianl mostly. I got used to it and I tried a few others but didn't find anything more or special in them.

I use LXTerm under OpenBox. My backup terminal is Sakura. I also keep a copy of xfce4-terminal on-board. None of these get in the way of using the shell/command-line interface.

Does screen count?

Screen just runs in whatever terminal you started in, so no.

The VTs are not terminals. They are the systems' default shell, usually bash. Terminals, as discussed here, are software that provide a GUI window to a shell. On the other hand, a login shell (no window manager or desktop) and VTs closely resemble an old-time terminal (hardware), which were monochromatic CRTs.

Terminals were not CRT's. They were the devices that terminate the command interface into a CRT. Sorry if this sounds odd in English, I don't really have an English way of saying it in my head, just translated it from my native language. The devices that terminated the line and produced a signal that could be displayed. Those were the terminals. The CRTS were just an aid, they could as well be printers, like in the very early days or other means of giving information to a human.
Best Regards,
Georgi

The 'terminal' involved in Linux VTs has historically been specified in /etc/inittab, and is typically set to 'linux', i.e. the Linux console; hence people talking of "the console" to refer to the VTs. If one wants to refer to either or both VTs and terminal emulators running under a GUI, "the command line" is probably the best way of doing that.
A shell, such as bash, runs on top of a terminal emulator. The emulator in use is described by the contents of the TERM environment variable, e.g. "linux"; other values one might encounter include "vt100" (emulating a DEC VT100, which is usually considered 'baseline'), "vt220", and "screen" (when running shells under screen(1)). The console_codes(4) man page notes:
| Quote: | | The Linux console implements a large subset of the VT102 and ECMA-48/ISO 6429/ANSI X3.64 terminal controls, plus certain private-mode sequences for changing the color palette, character-set mapping, and so on. |
The infocmp(1) command can be used to describe the capabilities of a given emulation (e.g. 'vt220'), assuming that a terminfo(5) database is being used for this purpose (as distinct from a termcap(5) database, whose man page describes it as 'obsolete'). |

Certainly a terminal doesn't have to involve an electronic display / 'Visual Display Terminal' (VDT). A 'terminal' for early Unix was the Teletype Model 33 ASR, a 'hard-copy' terminal. This is why we still talk of TTYs (= 'TeleTYpes'), and is the reason the description for the ENOTTY error on Unix systems used to be "Not a typewriter" (rather than, as on Linux currently, "Inappropriate ioctl for device"). |
