## What it is
A curated awesome-list cataloging terminal emulator and terminal client projects across Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, and other platforms. It is a reference resource of annotated links, not an installable program, covering GPU-accelerated emulators, SSH/SFTP clients, and remote-GUI terminals.

## Use cases
- find a terminal emulator for linux
- best gpu accelerated terminal emulator
- terminal emulator app for ios or android
- compare modern terminal emulators
- discover terminal clients with ssh and sftp support
- find a lightweight fast terminal alternative
- keep track of new and deprecated terminal projects

## When to choose
- you want to browse and compare terminal emulator options across many platforms before picking one
- you need a quick overview of the terminal emulator ecosystem including niche mobile and remote-graphics options
- you are researching which terminal projects are active, deprecated, or feature-rich

## When to avoid
- you want an actual terminal emulator to install and use, not a list of links
- you need in-depth documentation or support for one specific terminal application
- you expect runnable software with releases rather than a curated reading resource

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, cli
- domain: awesome-lists, developer-tools, cross-platform
- platform: windows, cross-platform
- tags: awesome-list, terminal-emulators, curated-list, shell, tty, ssh-clients, gpu-accelerated, reference, catalog, command-line, linux, macos, android, ios
