Linux Lite 4.0 - Sneak peeks

[Valtam]

This section will contain some of the features that will be appearing the in Linux Lite 4.x Series. We won't be giving too much away as that will spoil some of the surprises we have

First up - The Terminal

* We'll be switching to XFCE Terminal
* The terminal will feature Powerline, see more here - https://github.com/b-ryan/powerline-shell

This combo allows for powerful, customizable, beautiful terminals unlike anything you've seen so far.

Can't wait! Great work!

That's the ticket young man!!! XFCE terminal is one of the most impressive features of XFCE. Gonna make me feel all Christmasy to see it  default in LL. Thank you very much in advance.

Very exciting, Fishshell and Powerline look beautiful!

Looks like you are all excited about it.

There will be a few bumps along the road for people who are used to the Linux cli. Example - instead of using && to join 2 or more commands together, you would use ;

eg.

Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gimp

becomes:

Code:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gimp

Which is more in line with what programmers use, so if at some point you decide to do a little scripting, you'll already have the habit.
