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

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