12 best Linux command-line terminal tools

If you're like me, spending a lot of time using the Linux command line all day, and looking for some old, boring terminal software that comes with an alternative system, you're looking for the right article. I have collected some very interesting terminal software which can be used to replace the Linux native terminal of the Debian system.

Tilda

This is a configurable Thor Hammer style Terminal tool, which means that when the user taps a configured hotkey (default is F1), the terminal slides out from the top of the screen, just as it did in the Thor hammer game.

How it is installed:

Apt-get Install Tilda

Tilda has a richer range of customization options than other dropdown-style terminals. Including:

• Highly customizable interface

• Sets the transparency of the Tilda main window.

• Unique built-in color scheme.

• The user can degenerate the command-line window into a minimalist state.

Yakuake

Yakuake's original design inspiration was the end effect of the Thor Hammer. It is essentially a drop-down style terminal based on the KDE konsole technology. Because it is a KDE application, if you want to install it on the GNOME desktop, you will encounter a lot of KDE System package dependencies. But if you are a KDE user, Yakuake will make you quite satisfied. It is installed by:

Apt-get Install Yakuake

Guake

This is a drop-down terminal tool on the GNOME platform. The goal of this terminal is to provide a quick way to access the terminal, you just need to press a shortcut key, you can make it appear/disappear from the desktop. This drop-down style terminal is very useful. Install, open, set it to boot. It can be minimized to the system bar, using F12 can directly call it out.

How it is installed:

Apt-get Install Guake

Run it from Applications>accessories>guake. Then right-click on its system bar icon and click ' Preferences ' to set your preferences. You can use the "man Guake" activity for detailed help information.

Stjerm

This is a guake, Tilda comparable to the terminal software. And it's very lightweight and has tab pages that can be toggled in full screen. It is installed in the following ways:

Apt-get Install Sjterm

Terminator

Terminator is a cross-platform terminal tool that uses a GPL license and offers many advanced features. It's not as glamorous as Guake and Yakuake, but it's definitely a heavy weapon. It provides features such as interface tiles that set itself as the GNOME desktop default terminal. Like Guake, Terminator can be installed in the vast majority of Linux versions. You can divide its main window into any number of small chunks. It is installed in the following ways:

Apt-get Install Terminator

Its characteristics can be summed up as:

• Dividing the interface into meshes

• tab page

• Drag and drop to sort each terminal

• Large number of shortcut keys

• Adjust the interface layout and configuration preferences with the Visual setup tool.

• Each window can be used in parallel

Roxterm

Roxterm's original design goal was to replace the bulky gnome terminal with light weight. But later, as time went on, its goals changed and became a powerful heavyweight terminal tool. It integrates very well with the GNOME desktop environment. Supported features include dragging files into the terminal. It is installed in the following ways:

Apt-get Install Roxterm

Eterm

Eterm is probably the most lightweight of these terminal tools. It has a color terminal output, which is intended to replace the xterm. Eterm theme colors can be configured and run very fast. To start eterm, you need to enter ' eterm ' (note the uppercase ' E '). Don't write ' eterm '. If you have no experience, you may try many times to understand where the problem is. It is installed by:

Apt-get Install Eterm

Rxvt

RXVT is also an attempt to replace the xterm status of Linux terminal software. RXVT consumes very little of the system resources. It is installed by:

Apt-get Install RXVT

Aterm

Aterm is a RXVT-based terminal tool that provides a very beautiful visual effect, all the basic functions of the terminal it has to offer. It also provides a fade-out effect that imitates transparency and loses focus. It is installed in the following ways:

Apt-get Install Aterm

Wterm

Wterm is another lightweight, RXVT-based command-line terminal. Its features include the ability to set background images, transparent effects, reverse transparency, and more. A large number of settings make it a highly customizable terminal tool. It is installed by:

Apt-get Install Wterm

The downside is that it looks as if it's no longer being maintained.

Termkit

Termkit is not a terminal tool for everyday use. It has a very nice graphical operator interface. It is a command-line system developed based on the WebKit. It is installed in the following ways:

Apt-get Install Termkit

Terminology

This is not a simple end-point tool, it can do everything. With terminology, you can preview images, play videos, and do not need to open other file management tools. It is omnipotent. It is installed by:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hannes-janetzek/enlightenment-svnsudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get Install terminology
