Tilda | The Best Terminal on Linux!

In this video, I talk about Tilda a fantastic drop down terminal that just works really well. Tilda is great for workflow being able to have a dedicated terminal always sitting on the desktop is really convenient. I hope you enjoy this video!

Thanks For Watching!

[@ruirosado6289]

Awesome find! I used Yakuake and Guake. With this one it doesn't matter where you put the taskbar.

[@AraArch]

Can you please share your wallpaper? :)

[@lunixcaptain]

Why does it matter if you have to flip between a browser and a terminal window or a browser and your desktop - generally curious?

[@aleksvolkov92]

Same

[@prathamsharma204]

When you are running a server in a terminal and then you need to edit the files related to server.

[@yuganshtyagi3372]

Your System looks amazing ! Please can you make a video on -> What Distro you have -> What desktop environment you are using -> And what icons and themes you have ! I have watched your *Arch Linux customize guide* but it will be awesome it you can make a separate step by step on how to make a system that look likes yours ! Thank you !

[@marcd4144]

Not sure what hes using but Ubuntu 1804 can be made to look this way very easily with a couple of extensions :)

[@sarundayo]

Welcome back. Hope to see more content coming up.

[@ref3665]

I prefer Guake :p

[@lastmanstanding5423]

same here... Guake is cooler...

[@Gilcodes-ck1th]

Nice video, although I am using Sakura at the moment. Since I use a tiling window manager, I dont have the need for something like Tilda

[@madmaxdeveloper8460]

Hi there sir, may I know your linux theme?

[@ThisGuyRocksLikeCrazy]

You still have to switch between the desktop and browser. In my opinion Once you use something like tmux, you don't really need to care about the terminal anymore.

[@plasmalife5532]

As a minimal distro maintainer i will include it. Its make sense to use minimal - drop down - written in C terminal

[@kevinklement2621]

You can use terminator as a dropdown terminal too.

[@callisoncaffrey]

I don't know if you are still looking, but I use Blender for anything video related. So far I'm not disappointed. I can actually quite recommend it even. It has everything you need. Add Ardour for your recording needs and you should be good to go. At the moment I still draw stuff in Krita, too, but I'm hoping when Blender 2.8 comes out I can do it in there too no problem.

[@costadanilo]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I guess you are using gnome on arch. Great DE, could you tell us what theme, extensions and tweaks are you using? Loved the look and feel.

[@nixaristix1819]

Very interesting alternative to Guake! I'll try it, thx!

[@vojka2973]

yo yo, how do you make the exit button and minimize on the right ?

[@christophernuzzi2780]

Just run a terminal. Why would you want to keep something open and cluttering up your desktop? I don't get it.

[@theWishlist23]

hi. what is the desktop background? is it a ubuntu theme? or a different distro?

[@jcon2060]

looks like paper on arch based distro

[@linuxterm7622]

Its gnome customized

[@exiladad]

here is quite irrevelant comment... am i see ms visual studio on ur dock? even if it's can you tell me is it work well?

[@SuperTopmaster]

Video editors for Linux? Well, we have Openshot, Shotcut, Kdenlive....Oh! and also DaVinci Resolve came out with a Linux version!

[@TwitchReloaded]

what is this awesome desktop theme ?

[@magnusjansson1631]

Is there any of these features that does not already exist within... every pre-installed terminal in pretty much any distro that comes with a desktop environment? There's got to be more to it than setting your window starting position, and removing the scrollbar. Its mapped to the tilda key, is that what makes it shine? I'm pretty sure I can press ctrl-alt-t or alt-tab as fast as I could press the tilda key. And what terminal only lets you run one instance at a time!? What am I missing here?

[@xs10z]

Does your way make you feel like a hacker, or a programmer? I submit that it does not. As Antoun astutely points out, Tilda does! hth

[@marble_wraith]

Up next using this with i3 window manager or tmux?

[@aidanfirth1581]

Matthew Rath I3 doesn't support tilda. :(

[@grzegorzbrzeczyszczykiewic1636]

i3 is BSD license trash.

[@heckyes]

It's spelled "tilde" normally right? Looks cool!

[@halbgefressen9768]

If you can pacman it, it's not in the AUR but in the official repos :)

[@abielortega]

What did u do to your Kali desk top I really like it I wanna make mine like that too

[@linuxterm7622]

He is not using Kali linux he is using gnome with arch linux and it is themed

[@kevinbergman8532]

You should alias your 'clear' to just 'c'.

[@amlamarra]

Have you tried Yakuake? You don't need to have the Desktop in focus to bring town the terminal. Just press F12 from any application, which is nice since you don't use that key when you're typing. Whereas the tilde key IS used when typing. Maybe you can change the default key to open Tilda to F12 or something, I dunno. I just see that as a problem.

[@Error_-rt9mw]

All that can be made in st and bash with no so much difficulty

[@karimsad5217]

+Antoun Sawires which dock bar are you using ?

[@AntounSawires]

It is called Dash to Dock it is a gnome extensions for the gnome 3 desktop.

[@karimsad5217]

Thanks

[@BIGOTEMACHINE]

Some better alternatives: Guake, yakuake, qterminal --drop, tilix

[@yurij_zp]

The true solution would be getting the second monitor :)

[@randomaccessbrains]

Aren't you running Gentoo?

[@aleksandarvujasin6151]

arch is for pragmatists, gentoo is for psychopaths :P

[@AntounSawires]

+Ramses I have Gentoo but my main Linux distro is Arch Linux.

[@randomaccessbrains]

Antoun Sawires Oh i tought you were running Gentoo full-time

[@kohfee9967]

The shit thing about tilda is there is no way you can move it with your arrow.

[@nkmicros540]

Yes it is: [Windows] + [Arrow keys] (like for the other terminals) =D

[@jarisipilainen3875]

base code for tilda is like system(command);

[@twinklede8430]

Tmux anybody.

[@Magic679]

what desktop environment are you using?

[@AntounSawires]

Gnome 3 on Arch Linux with the numix circle icon pack and the dash to dock gnome extension.

[@evilfrijolito6384]

i want that wallpaper

[@TheChadWork2001]

Sound gain too low can't hear

[@ryansanta]

ST or rxvt-unicode FTW. Also, non GUI menus and self coding FTW. If I wanted that shit I’d be using Windows still.

[@curiosidadesdalife381]

Netpac's voice from game theory lol

[@MrKomer]

huh? What problem did you actually solve with this? You can go back and forth from Chrome to any terminal with alt+tab...

[@AntounSawires]

I solved the few seconds to open the terminal lol and I just like how it looks.

[@MrKomer]

LOL... okay.. I do understand that looks are important :D

[@Coolbone14Plays]

Try deepin terminal

[@androidbest1150]

[@sergiobeltrao]

Gnome

[@slka3272]

*laughs in i3wm*

[@akira9449]

[@johannardox]

[@ohlookitszore8880]

[@lastmanstanding5423]

Arch Linux...

[@bartekr5198]

[@saamsadeghian2579]

[@linuxterm7622]

Arch linux with gnome customized

[@so_far_icke]

[@Error_-rt9mw]

Very scary right?

[@alkeryn1700]

Bruh i use a WM with termite

[@eR3ctux]

It's pretty but useless if you have multiple monitors

[@TheDeliriumMan]

Bloat

[@abangratan4815]

Guake is better.

[@als.92]

Yakuake is the best terminal.. hands down.

[@siranime4748]

Same, may try terminology

[@Clobercow1]

Sudo Not Sue D'oh Sue Do. Short for Superuser Do.
