tmuxc
st
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Tabby: A terminal for a more modern age
I wrote a terminal-agnostic approximation of that called tmuxc - https://github.com/zdykstra/tmuxc . It's very much tailored my exact workflow, mainly because nobody else seems interested in it. With a bit of hacking around you could probably make it work on macOS. I use it on both Linux and HaikuOS.

HowTo? Open different tmux window within session for every now konsole window
I wrote a tool for this exact use-case. tmuxc . It uses/abuses session groups - all sessions in the same group share the same set of windows, but since each terminal has a unique session, they can all focus a different window (or the same, if you want).

Autodafe: "freeing your freeing your project from the clammy grip of autotools."
> you need to "edit your makefile". That isn't going to work for distributions
Is it not? [st] requires exactly that. And distros seem to have no issues shipping it.

Tabby: A terminal for a more modern age
I am fundamentally and ideologically opposed to using a terminal emulator implemented in electron.

How to make simple terminal transparent
You can use different forks of the ST. I, for example, use this one, already with the necessary patches https://github.com/mrdotx/st

Warp? A terminal behind login popup
My journey of using terminal emulators began together with my introduction to Linux about 7 years ago. GNOME terminal was my first as it came pre-installed on Ubuntu, my first Linux distribution. Since then, I've had the opportunity to explore and utilize a range of terminal emulators, including Alacritty, Kitty, st, Konsole, xterm, and most recently iTerm2. It's been interesting to experiment with these different emulators, each offering its unique features (or similar however with each with personal touch), user interfaces, and performance benchmarks. Just the other day, a new terminal emulator caught my attention: Warp Terminal. My curiosity won, and Warp was downloaded, this short blog are my thoughts about Warp terminal. At the moment there is only support for macOS, however linux and windows builds are on the way.

XTerm: It's Better Than You Thought (2021)
For those looking for a minimal VT100 terminal emulator without the legacy baggage of Xterm, I highly recommend checking out Suckless Software’s st: https://st.suckless.org/

circles.nvim - v2.0.1
That last reference builds off of the work of the other two. It also breaks down how NOT modern Xterm is, but, if I've read it correctly, it confirms that its input latency is low compared to all other tested terminal emulators, including Alacritty and ST, which humorously and justifiably thrashes Xterm on its homepage for being a bloated program. Its not a good choice for everyone: it has poor right-to-left text and Unicode support, making working with Chinese, Arabic, and other alphabets not great, I've read.
- Are there any resources you would recommend for someone trying to make a terminal emulator in C and x11?

Which terminal do you usually use?
ST is a favorite of some fervent minimalists. I do not think you would like it.
What are some alternatives?
tmuxp - 🖥️ Session manager for tmux, build on libtmux.
alacritty - A cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator.
uapi - Unix API
kitty - Cross-platform, fast, feature-rich, GPU based terminal
htop - htop - an interactive process viewer
tmux-powerline - ⚡️ A tmux plugin giving you a hackable status bar consisting of dynamic & beautiful looking powerline segments, written purely in bash.
rpfload - PF firewall config loader for OpenBSD and FreeBSD with automatic backup rollback and logging
termite - Termite is obsoleted by Alacritty. Termite was a keyboard-centric VTE-based terminal, aimed at use within a window manager with tiling and/or tabbing support.
st-flexipatch - An st build with preprocessor directives to decide which patches to include during build time
libxft-bgra - A patched version of libxft that allows for colored emojis to be rendered in Suckless software (dmenu/st/whatever).
hyperterm - A terminal built on web technologies
GPaste - Clipboard management system
