Powerful linux terminal emulators

even though Linux Commands isn’t necessary to use in modern desktop Linux distributions, but it is still being used often, with Linux commands or text-based applications you can perform a specific tasks in short amount of time using a terminal, unlike with graphic apps.
Of course because of various tasks that can be performed by text-based applications there are lot of Linux terminal emulators to chose from . here is a list of the most popular and powerful Linux terminal emulators.

Terminator

Terminator
Terminator
Terminator is considered the best Linux terminal by many user including me. It has a lot of and nice features, it gives the ability to split into small parts inside the main window, drag and drop re-ordering of terminals…
This application is written in Python, and it will work on any other platform with Java.
It means Terminator can be used in Mac Os X, Windows as well, but a little slower .

Gnome terminal

Gnome terminal
Gnome terminal
It is very used and popular since it is Terminal emulator for the gnome desktop environment, and lot of distributions have it in their desktops such as Ubuntu, Mint, Ferdora …

LXterminal

LXterminal
LXterminal
LXterminal is fast, lightweight, flexible and able to run in all desktop environments.
It is based on Lxde, and compatible with other desktop environments that’s why we see it in many distributions such as Bodhi, ArchBang,Manjaro …

Guake and Yakuake

Yakuake
Yakuake
guake
guake
Guake is used in Gnome environment while Yakuake is used in Kde environment. both adopt the style of the Quake video game, these terminals show up and hide up when using quick keystroke (f12 by default).they are perfect for when you need a terminal quickly to just run a few Linux commands.

Tilda

Tilda
Tilda
Tilda has the similar style as Guake and Yakuake, it will slide down when you hit some hot key ( F1 by default) but you have more configuration options in Tilda than in Guake and Yakuake. With Tilda you can chose where to put it (position) and you can also edit the size of the terminal window and use some animation effects on Tilda, but, you can’t drag it around on the desktop screen like with other terminals.
