It is very fluid, and very well put together. If you’ve tried out Guake, and you’re still looking for a Quake style terminal emulator for Linux, Yakuake is a program that you need to try out. Since the concept is very simple for a terminal, the main line of judgement is how the program acts, and how it looks. It’s not my terminal of choice, but it is vastly superior to Guake.
#TERMINATOR AND GUAKE TOGETHER UPDATE#
There hasn’t been an update for Yakuake for a very long time, but as soon as it happens, you’ll be sure that I’ll be updating it, and checking out the new features. I like the tiled nature of Terminator, and it’s just something that nobody has been able to deliver. I’m just very happy with Terminator, and no terminal on Linux that can quite deliver the same amount of features that I crave. It’s a little disappointing that the last update was released in 2012, but seeing as how it really doesn’t need many features added, not having any updates doesn’t necessarily make it a bad thing.īy no means is Yakuake a terrible program, but it’s just not something that I feel comfortable switching to any time soon.

Yakuake is a very well put together program.
#TERMINATOR AND GUAKE TOGETHER INSTALL#
For a time, I used Yakuake for my day to day terminal command shell, but after using it, I decided that I much prefer terminator.Įven still, Yakuake is something that I use from time to time, and every time I install it, I feel right at home.

Yakuake is brilliantly fluid, the skins are very good looking, and has excellent tab support. It’s very attractive, and I much prefer the Qt implementation over the GTK implementation of Guake. It looked very basic, and overall it just wasn’t that attractive. While I thought that Guake was a very well performing program, I was very disappointed in the way it looked.

Yakuake is not the first terminal emulator based upon a Quake drop-down style, but it is the most attractive.
