Everyone likes to set up their workspaces in a specific way; it helps your productivity and makes life easier to have things organized in a way that feels organic and to have an environment that feels good to you. That definitely applies to terminals too; that’s probably why there are so many terminal options available.

When starting on a new computer, the very first thing I do is set up my terminal to make it my own.

My preferred terminal app is terminator because of its minimalist design and built-in windowing options. But it gets more complex from there. I would describe my preferred terminal style as “feature-rich yet, keeping it minimal.” That balance is one I’m often fine-tuning.
