The 10 Best Linux Terminal Emulators

The Guake terminal emulator allows you to run instant commands without hiding the current application window. It stacks over the current application you are running instead of replacing it with the Guake terminal window. It is the best terminal emulator for users who like to customize a lot. Its default hotkeys are F12 to launch and F11 for fullscreen mode.

A good python library to replace libtcod for terminal play?
Iterm2, gnome terminal, xterm, Konsole, macos Terminal, powershell, command, etc.. these all provide a common API which we normally use curses to interface with. But all of them basically reach into something lower level (opengl, vulkan, directx, etc.) to render the text, which ultimately is still pixels on a screen. Source: over 2 years ago
