7 Features I Like in Ptyxis (The New Default Ubuntu Terminal)

Ptyxis is a modern GTK4/libadwaita terminal emulator that has become the default in Fedora and upcoming Ubuntu releases. Key features include a visual tab overview with drag-and-drop, pinning, and custom naming; a wide range of preset color schemes that apply to the tab bar too; scrollback search with regex support; native container integration for Podman, Distrobox, and Toolbox; flexible profile management; context-aware title bar coloring for root/SSH sessions; and a Terminal Inspector for debugging. The author notes Docker containers are not auto-detected, which is a minor disappointment.
