I haven't found a Linux terminal that is as good as iTerm, in terms of features. Any recommendations?

I tried a bunch of terminals and ended up switching from urxvt to termite https://github.com/thestinger/termite a few years back (mainly for it's better handling for refreshing certain curses style output).

This might be the best recent overview of some of the pros and cons between some of the different options: https://anarc.at/blog/2018-04-12-terminal-emulators-1/

iTerm is certainly good, but I was comparing it more to Terminal.app

for my needs, gnome-terminal seems to be enough, although it might not have all the features that iTerm has
