On iTerm2 my windows are full-screen, black background, zero border or window decorations. I cycle between windows with cmd-` it switches instantly from one full-screen terminal to the next. It's what to me a console should be.

Every terminal app I've tried on Windows or Linux insists on having a goddamn window border. I don't want even a single pixel of border.

And yes, this is enough to make me a die-hard iTerm2 user.

(users care about little things more than developers sometimes realize)

If you want to make it Full Screen with no menu or window decorations, then in Gnome you can press F11 in, then go to View > Untick Show Menubar

In KDE, in addition to being able to do this full screen, you can have regular windows without any chrome if you want. You just right click on the window title bar and change settings. You can easily set a rule to do this as well if you'd like.

Xubuntu user here: If I open my xfce4-terminal in fullscreen (F11), there is no border and I can cycle between all open terminal windows with Super+Tab. I can also disable the border in windowed mode, though that also removes the title bar.

I use dwm and of the handful of terminal emulator's I've used, none have a border or window decorations. So I don't think they "insist" on having borders.

I use Kitty and it offers that feature, while at the same time feels extremely fast.

That's Windows Terminal.
