GNOME Terminal Alternatives for Windows

GNOME Terminal allows Linux and BSD users to execute terminal commands while still on their familiar and customized graphical desktop.

There are equivalent console emulators for Windows and Terminal emulators for macOS, despite the use cases for them being about feature enhancement instead of the presence of a graphical desktop. This is because Windows and macOS both support running their console and terminal apps as windows on their graphical interfaces.

  • Alacritty

    Alacritty is the result of frustration with existing terminal emulators. Using vim inside tmux in many terminals was a particularly bad experience. None of them were ever quite fast enough. Even so, Linux does have some decent alternatives. For example, urxvt and st give good experiences. The major downside with those options is difficulty of configuration and inability to run on non-X11 platforms.
