I have recently jumped head first into the Linux space. I’ve installed Arch on my daily driver and I’ve become overwhelmed/overjoyed with my options. I’d like to hear from the community about your Linux favorites.

What is your favorite Terminal Emulator and what have you done to customize it?

      ligatures are when you join two or more glyphs into a single one. For instance, instead of having the two characters = and > to form => if you had ligature support you would see ⇒. Some terminals have support to recognize sequences like => (and others obviously) and turn them into their corresponding ligatures (only for display though, the actual file contents remain umchanged)

      when individual characters join together. it is defined in the font. such as fi or ff in writing, or => forming an arrow, or >= looking like the mathematical form. often using when coding, to make multi-character operators look nicer.
