From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Sheesh, I thought it looked nice, but I think I'll just stick to gnome-terminal.

Lol for the longest time I thought gnome shell terminal was the same as gnome terminal

Yeah; if Gnome terminal had slightly better tab configuration it would be all the terminal I'd ever need, I think. Using it as an IDE (couple of Vim / YouCompleteMe tabs, a build tab, a unit test tab) is a bit of a finger twister to flip between.
