I Customised My Terminal.

[bob466]

Last week after 9 years of running Linux Mint Cinnamon...I got this idea to change the look of my Terminal.

Don't know why it took so long...not something I've wanted to do but I saw this...and gave it a try.

Well since Mint Cinnamon doesn't brake or we have any problems...you do get bored after a while.

True !!

same here. I've been running mine for 10 years and still love it. It looks like this:

There is a way to make your terminal look really cool:

sudo apt install cmatrix
cmatrix

Then it looks like this:

man cmatrix explains how to change the colors and what not.

After I migrated to Linux (Mint at first, but not anymore, not for 5 years), one of the first things I did was to customize my terminal and it looks the same way for the past 9 years (I migrated to Linux in 2015).

As you probably know, I'm a baby when it comes to Linux knowledge. But it didn't take me long to figure out how to change the terminal. My old eyes were having a grand ole time trying to distinguish between a comma and a period with the installed font. I forget what font I switched to. But the difference is night and day!
