GNOME Terminal AlternativesTerminal Emulators and other similar apps like GNOME Terminal
GNOME Terminal allows Linux and BSD users to execute terminal commands while still on their familiar and customized graphical desktop.
There are equivalent console emulators for Windows and Terminal emulators for macOS, despite the use cases for them being about feature enhancement instead of the presence of a graphical desktop. This is because Windows and macOS both support running their console and terminal apps as windows on their graphical interfaces.
