Prompt, the container-oriented terminal emulator, now is re-named to Ptyxis!<\/b><\/p>\n

GNOME Developer Christian Hergert announced the Prompt<\/code> terminal emulator a few months ago. It “marries the best of GNOME Builder\u2019s seamless container support, the beauty of GNOME Text Editor, and the robustness of VTE.<\/i>” described in the blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Due to name confusion to other product, the terminal emulator now has a new name called “Ptyxis”, according to this post<\/a> “The extremely nice people at Panic let me know they had a product that might be confused with Prompt and I agreed it could be confusing.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

Ptyxis is a terminal for GNOME with first-class support for containers. It has a small ptyxis-agent<\/code> that manages PTY, PID tracking, and container monitoring. And, it supports native “user session” even when in Flatpak, as well as Podman, Toolbox, Distrobox, and JHBuild.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
