How to open a Shell terminal in Linux?
The method to open a Shell terminal in Linux depends on the Linux distribution and desktop environment you are using. Here are some common methods:
- Shortcut key: In most Linux distributions, you can use the shortcut Ctrl + Alt + T to open a new terminal shell.
- Look in the menu: In some desktop environments, you can find the “Terminal” or “Shell” option in the application menu, click to open the Shell terminal.
- You can also open a Shell terminal using the command line. In most distributions, you can use the shortcut Alt + F2 to open a run command dialog box, and then enter commands like “gnome-terminal”, “konsole”, or “xterm” to open a Shell terminal.
- Right-click in the file manager: In some desktop environments, you can right-click in a blank area of the file manager and select the option “Open Terminal” to open the Shell terminal.
