This is a list of notable terminal emulators. Most used terminal emulators on Linux and Unix-like systems are GNOME Terminal on GNOME and GTK-based environments, Konsole on KDE, and xfce4-terminal on Xfce as well as xterm.
Aug 18, 2011 Terminal emulation is the ability to make a given computer appear like an actual terminal or client computer networked to a server or mainframe. Today, this is often done via software to access data or programs on the server or mainframe, which are usually only available to the terminal.
Character-oriented terminal emulators[edit]
Unix-like[edit]
Command-line interface[edit]
- Linux console – implements a large subset of the VT102 and ECMA-48/ISO 6429/ANSI X3.64 escape sequences.
Terminal Emulation Software For Mac Windows
The following terminal emulators run inside of other terminals, utilizing libraries such as Curses and Termcap:
- GNU Screen – Terminal multiplexer with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation
- Minicom – text-based modem control and terminal emulation program for Unix-like operating systems
- tmux – Terminal multiplexer with a feature set similar to GNU Screen
Graphical[edit]

- xterm – default terminal when X11.app starts
- ZTerm – serial line terminal
Apple Classic Mac OS[edit]
Microsoft Windows[edit]
- ConEmu – local terminal window that can host console application developed either for WinAPI (cmd, powershell, far) or Unix PTY (cygwin, msys, wsl bash)
- HyperACCESS (commercial) and HyperTerminal (included free with Windows XP and earlier, but not included with Windows Vista and later)
- mintty – Cygwin terminal

Commodore 64[edit]
Block-oriented terminal emulators[edit]
Emulators for block-oriented terminals, primarily IBM 3270, but also IBM 5250 and other non-IBM terminals.
Coax/Twinax connected[edit]
These terminal emulators are used to replace terminals attached to a host or terminal controller via a coaxial cable (coax) or twinaxial cabling (twinax). They require that the computer on which they run have a hardware adapter to support such an attachment.
- RUMBA 3270 and 5250
tn3270/tn5250[edit]
These terminal emulators connect to a host using the tn3270 or tn5250 protocols, which run over a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection.
- x3270 – IBM 3270 emulator for X11 and most Unix-like systems[2]
- c3270 – IBM 3270 emulator for running inside a vt100/curses emulator for most Unix-like systems[2]
