Guake Terminal: A Customizable Linux Terminal for Power Users [Inspired by an FPS Game]
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
_**Brief: Quickly access your terminal that is customizable and powerful for a variety of users with Guake Terminal emulator.**_
|
||||
|
||||
### Guake Terminal: Top-Down Terminal for GNOME Desktop
|
||||
|
||||
![][1]
|
||||
|
||||
[Guake][2] is a terminal emulator that’s tailored for GNOME desktop with a top-down design.
|
||||
|
||||
It was originally inspired from the terminal seen in an FPS game ([Quake][3]). Even though it was initially built as a quick and accessible terminal, it is much more than that.
|
||||
|
||||
Guake terminal offers a ton of features, and customizable options. Here, I’ll highlight the key features of the terminal along with the process of getting it installed on any of your Linux distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
### Features of Guake Terminal
|
||||
|
||||
![][4]
|
||||
|
||||
* Keyboard Shortcut (**F12**) to launch the terminal anywhere as an overlay
|
||||
* Guake terminal runs in the background for persistent access
|
||||
* Ability to split tabs horizontally and vertically
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

||||

|
||||

||||

||||

Just to have fun, you can do a great deal of things. But, I also believe that power users can make use of the features to make their terminal experience easier and more productive.
|
||||
|
||||
For the time I used it to test out a few things and write this article, I felt like I was summoning the terminal to be honest. So, I definitely find it cool!
|
||||
|
||||
### Installing Guake Terminal on Linux
|
||||
|
||||
![][6]
|
||||
|
||||
**Guake Terminal is available through the default repositories on Ubuntu, Fedora, and Arch**.
|
||||
|
||||
You can follow its official instructions to know the commands you can use or if you’re using an Ubuntu-based distro, simply type in:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo apt install guake
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Do note that you may not get the latest version using this method. So, if you want to have the latest version, you can opt to use the PPA by [Linux Uprising][7] to get the latest version:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linuxuprising/guake
|
||||
sudo apt update
|
||||
sudo apt install guake
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In either case, you can also get it using [Pypi][8] or from source by referring to the [official documentation][9] or the [GitHub page][10].
