How to Change Default Terminal in Ubuntu Budgie 22.04 from Tilix to Gnome-Terminal?

kalvincj · June 22, 2023, 4:35am

I prefer using gnome-terminal over Tilix in Ubuntu Budgie 22.04. How can I switch to gnome-terminal without uninstalling Tilix and ensure that it becomes the default terminal so that it opens up when I press ‘Ctrl+Alt+T’?

Using dconf-editor (you may have to install that package) and navigate to the following key and change to gnome-terminal

          show-desktop-icons=true

          [x.dm.slick-greeter]
          background='/usr/share/backgrounds/budgie/budgie-codename.png'

          exec='tilix'
          exec-arg='-e'

          [org.gnome.mutter:Budgie]
          attach-modal-dialogs=false

If you are using the nemo file manager you will also need to change this key
