Situatie
Terminal is a crucial part of any Linux system. It allows you to access your Linux systems through a shell. There are several terminal applications (technically called terminal emulators) on Linux.
Most of the desktop environments have their own implementation of the terminal. It may look different and may have different keyboard shortcuts.For example, Guake Terminal is extremely useful for power users and
provides several features you might not get in your distribution’s terminal by default.
You can install other terminals on your system and use it as default that opens up with the usual keyboard shortcut of Ctrl+Alt+T.Now the question comes, how do you change the default terminal in Ubuntu.
It doesn’t follow the standard way of changing default applications in Ubuntu then how to do it?
Solutie
Change the default terminal in Ubuntu
On Debian-based distributions, there is a handy command line utility
called update-alternatives that allows you to handle the default applications.
You can use it to change the default command line text editor,
terminal and more. To do that, run the following command:
sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulatorIt will show all the terminal emulators present on your system that
can be used as default. The current default terminal is marked with the asterisk.
abhishek@nuc:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
There are 2 choices for the alternative x-terminal-emulator (providing /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator).
