I would recommend kitty[1] as well, it certainly has more features than alacritty, like opening links via keyboard using hints.

I recommend Cool Retro Term. No tabs. Not a lot of features. Emulation can be a little strange. But it's cross-platform and a metric ass ton of fun.

And if you push the settings right, you can use it to convince the procurement department that you need a new monitor.

Cool Retro Term is based on konsole, so it's actually a solid terminal emulater... and like you pointed out... loads of fun.

Just had a look at their docs:

Cool, it even works over SSH! Wait, what? This lets a remote server take over your workstation.

...so don't enable that feature? It's off by default AFAICT.

if you're able to get an ssh tunnel going to the machine...i think you already have control over the server

This optional feature is the other way around. When you turn it on, the connect to a remote servers, that remote server can run commands on your local box.
