We all love Linux Terminal! Though Linux has evolved over time and provide a better and much competitive Graphical User Interface, Terminal still remains the best part of it. Some of us prefer the App Center and rest add PPAs to install something. Some even go the extent of using Lynx browser in Terminal.
Not only the Terminal is useful, it is the most powerful part of a Linux system. I'm mostly a terminal guy, and there is always a black window running. Being an Ubuntu user, the one thing I don't like about it, is the default background color which matches the Ubuntu theme. I prefer it mostly black background color with the text either in white or green.
