Does anyone routinely use a Linux terminal not in this list?

Dear Sammy,

My Linux experience is limited, but I'd say your list covers the most popular terminal emulators.

For a quick command line session, some users prefer drop-down versions like Guake or Yakuake, because 

they don't add a regular window to the desktop, but I doubt anyone would want to run an editor in them.

Hope you're having fun with the new keyboard options,

Harald

[Carlo Hogeveen]

Yes.
On any desktop system I just use the default/first terminal I am offered.
Which always turns out to be an icon named "Terminal".
In my case in Terminal the following command always returns "gnome-terminal-".
ps -p $(ps -o ppid= -p $$) -o comm=

Carlo

Yes I am!
Frustrating and fun at the same time.
This is an area where Windows does a lot better in most cases.

1. These terminals are installed on my about 30 installed 

different Linux distributions

2. See also the attached terminaltype.csv

3. mostly with regard to frequency of installation:

a. gnome terminal: 11 of 31 or about 35%

b. KDE konsole: 6 of 31 or about 20%

c. xfce terminal: 4 of 31 or about 10%

with friendly greetings

On my WSL install of Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS, the term is xterm-256color

What's so funny about peace, love, and understanding? 

[J. David Boyd]

Oops, never mind.  You're talking about the terminal application, not what it reports itself as in the $TERM variable.

[knud van eeden]

For completeness:

In Linux WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) Ubuntu 22.04, there is no single default terminal.

It depends on which application (e.g. cmd.exe, windows terminal exe, powershell.exe, tcc.exe, ...) you used to start WSL.

In WSL it typically runs inside Microsoft Windows conhost.exe (e.g. when WSL was started via JPSoft tcc.exe here)

otherwise e.g. windowsterminal.exe, ...

Typical output of typing $TERM on the WSL command line is then indeed

xterm-256color

or otherwise

xterm

Note: but this is probably more pointing to its compatibility (e.g. colors, ...) with the 'xterm' terminal program,

because I had to install xterm when earlier typing that word on the WSL command line, so xterm

is or should not be default present and installed and used.

with friendly greetings
