What's your preferred terminal? (lemmy.world)

I'm using Gnome on Fedora and was wondering what terminal everyone's using? When I had a Mac I really liked iTerm2 and was hoping to find a suitable Linux version, but so far no such luck. I've tried Guake but I can't get the F12 binding to work.

Preferably, I'd like to find a terminal that can display system stats the same way as iTerm2.

I've used quite a few different ones (such as Alacritty and Kitty), both my preferred DE's native terminals are nice (Konsole and gnome-terminal/kgx) but as of recently I've been trying out Black Box and I'm enjoying it so far!

It supports the colored title bar indicators for SSH / Sudo (purple / red respectively) which is one of those small things but I appreciate it. kgx supports it, but doesn't really have any customization options.
