Title: [SOLVED] Qterminal buggy, what are alternatives
Post by: Bahuvrihi on 15 December 2018, 00:05:29
Hi, I am relative noob to linux daily driver, but I am liking Artix a lot. One frustrating thing is qterminal, which won't save my preferences. I have updated to the latest git version, but it still will not save preferences. Other minor bugs with qterminal I can live with.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem, or if not, what is another terminal app that would be a good replacement?

Thanks.

If anyone is interested, I installed kitty to replace qterminal. It seems pretty good and fast.

Hello,
I dare to say this is the question at the same level as "What distribution should I use?" or "What the should I use".

I am using Terminator (https://gnometerminator.blogspot.com/p/introduction.html) as stand alone program and Konsole (https://konsole.kde.org/) which is integrated in many KDE applications.

There are many terminal emulators in this world. Some are made to be useful and some just for fun:
- Terminology (https://www.enlightenment.org/about-terminology.md)
- Cool Retro Term (https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term)

I have always used lxterminal and I am happy with it.

I figured out why qterminal preferences were not saving. I found the qterminal.ini file in ~/.config/qterminal.org and it was set to owner root. I chown to my user and it's saving now.
