Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So how’s it going?

    I’m trying to change the default terminal app in Nemo and I’m having issues.

    I guess you already found this but just in case you haven’t, have you tried the suggestion here?

    I’ve never tried to change the default so can’t tell you if it works. I’ve been using linux as a daily driver for a couple of years now and never considered I might want to change the terminal app. Any suggestions for what one I might want to try out?

      I use sakura running on Debian (on a Chromebook). Did some searching and testing a while ago, and this one fit my purposes the best. Pretty simple but includes tabs, which even though I use tmux, I find helpful to separate out work flow sometimes.

      I haven’t found any emulation problems to date for what I do. man page|github

      So many to choose from, though.

      I just downloaded cool-retro-term to have some fun for a while.

      I would recommend that for a nice change if you want to feel like a hacker

      Thanks! Solved it by just adding another action, from this section:

      In case you want not to replace, but to add "Open in Terminator" in your right-click menu,

      [Nemo Action]

      Name=Open in Cool Retro Term

      Comment=Open the ‘terminator’ terminal in the selected folder

      Exec=cool-retro-term --fullscreen --workdir %F

      Icon-Name=cool-retro-term

      Selection=any

      Extensions=dir;

      EscapeSpaces=true
