I've tried Mate Terminal as well. It did well. Just took a little more RAM than lxterminal, and I was on some limited hardware at the time.
qterminal is another good minimalistic one. xfce4-terminal as well.

@RL_Dane @redgreen925@fosstodon.org If you're using Wayland, Foot is a pretty good . It is incredibly fast to open. Like, if the daemon mode is on (and maybe when not), you're pressing Super+Enter (say) and your finger hasn't come off the Enter key yet and the window is already open.

Yeah, @benjaminhollon is a big fan, so it's on my radar.

Wayland isn't 100% operational for me yet. I can't find anything quite like xbanish (at least in KDE), you lose some network tricks which are still quite useful in 2023 (until someone makes a standard way for VNC to share a single window, but even then, share it *without* it appearing on the host desktop!).

There are other utilities which are X-only that I find moderately useful, so I don't know if I'll ever quite fully convert.

Unfortunately, Wayland has most of the development resources now. I don't really see X11 improving much from here on out, and I can't blame people for not wanting to work on a hack of a hack of a hack, no matter how full-featured it might be.

While we're talking about foot; I just discovered recently that the repo has a bunch of themes in it:

codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/src/bra

Just copy your preferred one into your config.ini and you're off to the races! (I originally didn't notice this and did custom ports of my themes, which didn't go fantastically.)
