GNOME Terminal

What GNOME Terminal is

GNOME Terminal is a free Linux terminal program that gives graphical access to command-line applications. It can launch programs, run commands, and support SSH connections. Users can enable and manage tabs by adding, removing, and reordering them. Text features include copying and pasting, searching output, saving output to a file, and opening web or email links. Appearance settings cover custom fonts, colours, backgrounds, and text zoom. Profiles can be created, renamed, and deleted. The terminal can start a chosen command or another shell, including a login shell. GNOME Terminal is largely based on VTE, which provides terminal-emulator widgets. GNOME describes its software as supplying the user experience for the main Linux distributions and provides help on setup, text handling, appearance, behaviour, advanced settings, and troubleshooting. The GNOME Project was founded in 1997 and is supported by the non-profit GNOME Foundation. Plans list free, including an open-source option distributed through Linux vendors and source repositories.
