I just want unicode and tabs and a way to set background and foreground colors.
I also like lxterminal and of course the emacs shell.
I did try kitty after reading this, but is failed because of my openGL configuration. Silly.
Vanilla xterm. It uses a lot less resources than any other emulator. Thomas Dickey keeps it updated. It has an unusual, but usable scroll bar.

Kitty was alright but I prefer a bitmap font in terminals and I'd rather have one that just lets me use it without having to do tricks which you have to do with Kitty.
Alacritty is also good but I don't care about X support at all.

With `pwd`, `gb` and `gs` why do I need prompt taking up horizontal space?
