Re: Terminal Linux Para Mac
Kenneth Calimlim
I'm looking for an application that can act as an integrated Linux-like terminal for my Windows PC. For instance, I could roam around the file system, install applications like vi, etc. I would like this application to meet the following requirements,
Cygwin is a Unix-like environment and command-line interface forMicrosoft Windows. Cygwin provides native integration of Windows-basedapplications, data, and other system resources with applications,software tools, and data of the Unix-like environment.
If you're looking for a package manager (e.g. apt-get or yum), Chocolatey is a possible Windows alternative. It doesn't contain all packages and some are occasionally outdated but it does have quite an impressive spread.
MSYS is much lighter weight than Cygwin, however it might not have everything you need. Obviously, you will have to evaluate that yourself. It definitely does meet all 5 of your bullet points. It's free, is has a Bash shell, you can interact with your current drives, its easy to install, and it works on Win10.
For a long time I used Git Bash (prettified with Console2), but I felt it quite lacking. I wanted more, but I was quite intimidated by Cygwin: I was afraid, perhaps unreasonably, of the bloat, and the difficulty of configuring the thing. I also wanted a reasonably good-looking terminal, and out-of-the-box cygwin just isn't very pretty. I'm afraid I'm going to sound like an advertisment, but Babun really just worked.
Windows 10, with the 2016 anniversary update, now provides a Bash Linux binary running on Windows itself. It can be accessed through any command prompt and can run UNIX-style commands (like ls) as it would with any other command. For more information about this, read the MSDN posts on the Windows Subsystem for Linux page.
What I use is a combination of Git Bash, which comes when you install Git, and ConEmu. Git Bash uses MinGW, and ConEmu provides the option to have multiple tabs and good colour schemes, the option to have a full screen terminal, and more.
MSYS2 is a fork of Cygwin created with the intention of being an updated environment to support building with MinGW. (That is, it's meant to serve as a better maintained alternative to the ever more out of date MSYS. See here for some details.) It functions well as a bash shell with Linux tools on a Windows machine.
In my mind, the biggest advantage of MSYS2 is the comparatively clean package management. Cygwin's and MSYS's package managers are, in my opinion, confusing and difficult to use. They're graphical and not very well integrated with the system itself. By contrast, MSYS2 ported Arch Linux's pacman, and all package management is done at the command line. There are a wealth of packages available and easily installable, from Python to Perl to vim to SVN to git to the MinGW compilers. There is a small hiccup with updating certain "core" packages: you have to restart your shell and run the update again, but this is vastly superior to having to launch some external graphical tool, in my opinion.
Especially with the powerline features, it just looks so nice. Also, if you want a linux environment to explore your actual Winodws PC, you could look at Windows Subsystem for Linux via Windows Terminal.
will still work fine. You may need cygwin or msys around to have access to the GNU coreutils like grep and uniq. Windows has some of it's own builtins under unixlike names that can blow stuff up, so be careful with the order of your PATH variable.
I am coming from Windows, where I ran the program MobaXTerm.
Essentially I used it as an SSH client (though it has other uses). It has a great feature of showing the files and directories on the left hand side, while showing the terminal on the right side of the screen. This let me execute Linux commands from the terminal as well as easily drag and drop files.
Filezilla doesn't have a terminal I can execute commands on, but I like the drag and drop file usage.
PuTTY has a great terminal for command-line execution, but does not have a drag and drop feature that lets me easily view, create, delete, and access files/directories.
At the time of writing this, the MobaXterm portable version could be downloaded from here.Once you have installed wine on your linux distro, you simply need to unzip the file downloaded from the above link (thus revealing the portable exe) and run the exe as:
I'd recommend terminator mobaxterm was my terminator replacement when I shifted back to Windows. You won't find a drag and drop window like you have in windows unfortunately but the hot keys in terminator - oh how I miss the hot keys.
A terminal emulator is a computer program that reproduces a video terminal within some other display structure. In other words, the terminal emulator has the ability to make a dumb machine appear like a client computer networked to the server.
To better understand the quality of software that is available, we have gathered a list of marvelous terminal emulators for Linux. Each title provides its description and feature along with a screenshot of the software with a relevant download link.
Terminator is an advanced and powerful terminal emulator which supports multiple terminal windows and comes with some additional functionality that you will not find in the default Linux terminal application.
Tilda is a stylish drop-down terminal based on GTK+. With the help of a single keypress, you can launch a new or hidden Tilda window. However, you can add colors of your choice to change the look of the text and the Terminal background.
Guake is a python based drop-down terminal created for the GNOME Desktop Environment, which is invoked by pressing a single keystroke and can make it hidden by pressing the same keystroke again.
ROXterm is yet another lightweight terminal emulator designed to provide similar features to gnome-terminal. It was originally constructed to have lesser footprints and faster start-up time by not using the Gnome libraries and by using an independent applet to bring the configuration interface (GUI), but over time its role has shifted to bringing a higher range of features for power users.
Eterm is the lightest color terminal emulator designed as a replacement for xterm. It is developed with a Freedom of Choice ideology, leaving as much power, flexibility, and freedom as workable in the hands of the user.
Konsole is yet another powerful KDE-based free terminal emulator that was originally created by Lars Doelle. It is also merged into multiple other KDE Applications making it simpler to reach and more suitable.
Kitty is a free, open-source, fast, feature-rich, GPU-accelerated terminal emulator for Linux, that supports all present-day terminal features, such as Unicode, true color, text formatting, bold/italic fonts, tiling of multiple windows and tabs, etc.
GNOME Terminal is a built-in terminal emulator for the GNOME desktop environment developed by Havoc Pennington and others. It allows users to run commands using a real Linux shell while remaining in the GNOME environment. GNOME Terminal emulates the xterm terminal emulator and brings a few similar features.
The Gnome terminal supports multiple profiles, where users can able to create multiple profiles for his/her account and can customize configuration options such as fonts, colors, background images, behavior, etc. per account and define a name for each profile. It also supports mouse events, URL detection, multiple tabs, etc.
xfce4-terminal is a lightweight modern and easy-to-use terminal emulator specially designed for the Xfce desktop environment. The latest release of the xfce terminal has some new cool features such as a search dialog, tab color changer, drop-down console-like Guake or Yakuake, and many more.
Terminology is yet another new modern terminal emulator created for the Enlightenment desktop but also can be used in different desktop environments. It has some awesome unique features, which do not have in any other terminal emulator.
Deepin Terminal is an advanced terminal emulator that offers some powerful features which include a workspace, multiple windows, upload & download files with remote management, quake mode, and other powerful features waiting for you to explore!
The xterm terminal application is a standard terminal emulator for the X Window System that offers many separate invocations of xterm running at once on the same window, each of which gives independent input/output for the process running in it.
Sakura is based on GTK and livte and provides not more advanced features but customization options such as multiple tab support, custom text color, font and background images, speedy command processing, and a few more.
DomTerm is a terminal emulator that supports powerful features such as automatic paging, mouse event handling, screen multiplexing (panes and tabs), and session management (like tmux or GNU screen).
TermKit is an elegant terminal that aims to construct aspects of the GUI with the command line-based application using a WebKit rendering engine mostly used in web browsers like Google Chrome and Chromium.
TermKit is originally designed for Mac and Windows, but due to the TermKit fork by Floby, you can now able to install it under Linux-based distributions and experience the power of TermKit.
Rio Terminal stands as a terminal emulator which is built using Rust, WebGPU, and Tokio runtime. It is designed to be hardware-accelerated and has the best frame-per-second experience.
I think this was one of the most innovative additions to the world of emulators. For instance, it can also show thumbnails of pictures and videos in different sizes and has a built-in picture and video preview. It can also take pics and live videos as background, in addition to several other creative features.
