Shameless plug for my project, which is a bit different.

I had the problem of crashing terminals due to OOM kills and wanted to switch to a more lightweight terminal. Also I had too many of them and couldn't find the right one any more.

I thought, why not build one yourself. The result:

https://github.com/ThePixelPilgrim/kabelsalat

It has GTK tabbed, (almost) transparently tmux-backed terminals (so quitting or crashing the app and starting it up again restores the state) in colored, named groups.

I recently added Wayland app embedding to run Chrome side by side with the terminal, local to each group, but this is still a bit shaky.

Would be nice if someone would test drive it and give me some feedback. :)
