Fellow gentoo users and developers,
We have a large selection of terminals available, some desktops provide one and there are many others. Some terminals disappear, others appear.
Fvwm-crystal does not provide a terminal, but contains a preference system for the everyday terminal and associated functions. In order to get an actual idea of the terminals that should be included into these preferences, I would like to have a small statistic on their use.
Best regards,
Dominique

| ST (Suckless / Simple Terminal). Many years ago I thought things like tabs, scrollbars etc were essential terminal features but then I realised that screen (and nowadays tmux) are actually a better solution; st is minimalist but it still does everything I need. |

konsole. Not what you'd call minimalist, but I like it.

FWIW I have no preference. They all seem pretty similar to me.

My current terminal is sakura. It's very minimal in code (a single 124KB c file) and does everything i need.
If sakura is not available i like xfce4-terminal too.

It is not wise not to list the terminal of one of the most widely used Interfaces (Plasma).

I made another mistake, I put thunar, which is a file manager.  
Will plasma work outside of kde? I suppose so, but I prefer to ask. Which package install it?

If you cannot modify the poll afterwards I can remove Thunar from there, if you'd like to?
I'd also like to add Konsole there, but that would skew the results.

Yes thank you. It would be fine if you remove thunar.
For konsole, I put it on the list at first, but it was too many options... so to replace thunar with konsole will be even better, even if that screw the results. Anyway, I will have the date of that change, so I can make a little calculation with the preceding comments.
I removed thunar, but left the poll otherwise intact. I really don't want to skew the results. Even if I could add Konsole and move few votes from "other" to Konsole the results might be wrong. You may want to create an external poll and maybe use qsearch -S 'terminal emulator' as a base. --Zucca

| I was a long-time aterm user. After it was unceremoniously kicked to the curb, I tried a few and landed on xterm. I like that it's mostly minimal but still easy to customize. If I end up using tmux more, I might look more into st again, but I'm satisfied with my current workflow. |

A long time ago I used some rxvt variants, tilda, and some that come with a DE. I didn't perceive any gains, so I switched back to xterm at some point and have rarely given it any more thought. I suppose I'll have to give it some thought if I ever use wayland (or whatever it's correct name is).
