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 don't know if it's Plasma dependent, but I love using yakuake on my laptop for the convenience of pressing F4 and it just popping up. I know there are shortcuts for making a terminal pop up, but I really like how yakuake closes itself when you click out of it.
Couldn't tell you about the technical side of yakuake, but I will say I just love the convenience more than anything else.
Used to use it a lot. However these days I prefer window'd terminals that popup with a keyboard shortcut. To answer op. I use konsole atm. Usually that suffices, I don't know what features I'm missing but I keep an eye on Warp. Tempted to write my own /again./
