Dumb question perhaps, but why does startup time matter much for a terminal emulator of the tabbed / multi-window variety? E.g. Konsole uses one process for all windows and tabs, so it only really starts when you close every terminal.
- feanaro 6y agoBecause of tiled window managers. Having many terminals open is often more ergonomic than the terminal's tab support.
- formerly_proven 6y agoKonsole being a KDE app lets you disable internal tabbing. It's still single-process, so opening new terminals is just opening a new window from the same process.
