I’m looking for a new terminal. What’s your favorite one and why? Which one is popular?

    Most things in Linux are configured via text files. It’s one of the main principles of Linux; store configs in plain text files. Saves us from having to use awful tooling like that of the windows registry. Even most GUI config settings are just manipulating a text file under the hood.

        Well yeah. But would you rather a GUI that stores the settings in easy to read and manipulate plain text files; Linux, or an archaic GUI that manipulates raw data and often breaks and is hard to understand; Windows registry.
        Even if you prefer GUIs, you’d probably still want the data stored in plain text files for the sake of simplicity and consistency.
