Console

A simple user-friendly terminal emulator for the GNOME desktop. Source

Description

Console is supposed to be a simple terminal emulator for the average user to carry out simple cli tasks and aims to be a 'core' app for GNOME/Phosh. We are not however trying to replace GNOME Terminal/Tilix, these advanced tools are great for developers and administrators, rather Console aims to serve the casual linux user who rarely needs a terminal.

Notice

Console was previously called KingsCross / kgx. From GNOME 42 onwards, this is GNOME's default terminal. GTK3/libhandy before release 43.
