From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use Hyper because it’s pretty simple to setup the way you want it and carry the config across OSs.
Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport's Terminal 2.
guake and conemu
I don't have one specific as my favorite anymore and currently use Konsole from KDE. If you like tinkering with files and want it highly customizable through configuration files instead a gui, then probably Kitty is the best (and the closest to being my favorite). Alacritty is also a good one, but its quite simple and lacks some features in my opinion. I didn't try too many, but these 3 are the top three I would consider using in the ~~feature~~ future.
I like terminology
It’s quick, gpu accelerated, can natively display images, and I’m not sure what else.
I don’t use the rest of enlightenment de but have stuck with terminology for years
What are the benefits if Gpu-accelarated terminals? From my understanding, that's a really negligible difference.
Wezterm. It has all the features one could wish for
Alacritty because I like how it handles bitmap fonts and I need bitmap fonts in my life.
kitty terminal + zsh shell, two fast and customizable tools
Guake. Has been for years. I am in and out the terminal all the time, so F12 works well for me. Plus I used to play Quake and used the in game terminal to do all kinds of things. Plus I'm an old RISC OS kid and F12 was the key to get the "star line".
I do a ton of work on my homelab from my iPad with Blink Shell, and if I had to pick a favorite terminal, it would be Blink. I know this kinda falls outside the goal of your question, and with that in mind, after Blink, my favorite is Konsole.
QTerminal, xterm, and of course, the good ol' Linux console when I don't wanna do anything graphical.
