Ptyxis Becomes Ubuntu's Recommended Replacement To GNOME Terminal


While the Ubuntu desktop has been offered the newer GNOME Console as an alternative to GNOME Terminal, there's been a recent fondness around Ptyxis and apparently is becoming the recommended replacement to GNOME Terminal for the Ubuntu camp.

On current Ubuntu 25.04 daily builds GNOME Console is still there by default too, but there's an apparent growing fondness for Ptyxis. Within this week's Desktop Team Integration Squad Updates, Canonical Desktop Software Engineer Jeremy Bicha's update reflected a number of Ptyxis-related work items and spelled things out clearly with:"...for ptyxis, our recommended replacement for gnome-terminal." Michael is also the lead developer of the Phoronix Test Suite, Phoromatic, and OpenBenchmarking.org automated benchmarking software.
