Do you have any recommended modifications that you make to your default Mint installation?
One of the very first things I do is to install Guake terminal. I usually change its hotkey to ctrl-alt-T, because I'm so used to using that for the terminal.

ddterm alternative with split view?
Maybe Guake will be to your liking?

I want to edit window border but there is no option to.
I did discover one irrelevant cool thing though, well worth your time playing with: GUAKE --> http://guake-project.org

Any Windows terminals that can drop-down Quake-style?
Guake does it, too (on Linux).
- Is it possible to upgrade the default terminal to something like the default Kali one?
- Sorry for the bitrate, but can someone help me with this performance issue? I just built this pc, and for some reason in game my fps appears to be capping itself at certain times, going as low to 30 when i can easily have 300+ as if i have vsync on. Is there a setting or something causing this?

How do I reduce the volume of an app that only plays sound while in focus?
I'm not sure which desktop or window manager you use, but you could try using a drop-down terminal like Guake and running pulsemixer on a tab in it.

Suckless.org: software that sucks less
I quite liked Kitty, and wanted to keep using it. But the slow startup was a deal breaker for me. Even with `--single-instance` it was at least 5x that of st for me, which is noticeable for an app I use very frequently. Besides, I'm not a fan of running a single instance of any app, since if (when) it crashes, all my work is gone.
Then I had a look around their issue tracker, and noticed others complained about this too[1]. And the dismissive and defensive response from the author just rubbed me the wrong way.

Analyzing the codebase of Caffeine: a high performance caching library
kitty is very close, which is impressive when you remember that the vast majority of the work is done by one guy (Kovid Goyal).

From iTerm To WezTerm
In recent years, new terminal emulators have appeared. I tried using them mainly for testing macmon. A couple of years ago, I tried switching to kitty, which was faster due to GPU acceleration. However, it required too much customization and still looked very non-native for macOS. GPU acceleration was added to iTerm as well, so I stayed with it.

iTerm2 Critical Security Fix
No it's not. The author smuggles opt-out telemetry and is suspiciously abrasive towards users pointing this out.

Déjà vu: Ghostly CVEs in my terminal title
It's not just Kitty graphics, the Kitty Keyboard Protocol is a DOS waiting to happen, and Goyal with his customary charm is very hostile to the idea of correcting his mistake: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/7749
This isn't the only problem with KKB, it must be deprecated and replaced.

Warp terminal – no more login required
For those that have to bounce between Mac and Linux for work/personal reasons, I cannot recommend Kitty terminal enough.
The main thing that's a big of a pain is you'll probably want to set up a scrollback pager (I use neovim as mine but vim works too) so you easily search the terminal output and copy/paste from it.
I use
# https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/719#issuecomment-...
scrollback_pager nvim -u ~/.config/kitty/kitty-scrollback-pager.vimrc -c "silent write! /tmp/kitty_scrollback_buffer | te cat /tmp/kitty_scrollback_buffer -"
and the scrollback pager vimrc:
```
