There are many tools in your Linux kit to help you slice and dice your consoles. The only answer is a split screen so that two or more terminals can exist at the same time within just one application window. And yet, sometimes it's distracting or inconvenient to flip back and forth between tabs.

Gui terminals have more features and are easier in some ways but when the gui is buggy the tty's terminals work more quickly and efficiently. This is the reason for my answering as I did hope it helps.ĮDIT also, it appears launching web pages from tty's is much more difficult than the simple one liner two string command from a terminal open in a gui THE other posts already showed you how to use them, it seemed you were confused as to why as well.

There is no press a button and wait 30 seconds to see it show up (if the desktop terminal even decides to behave at all) it just works.ĪLSO just tested, nano still color codes in tty's, I'm sure vim or whatever you guys are into will as well.

HOWEVER, if you are trying to use an old laptop with < 4GB of RAM, or you messed up your debian install (still not sure, anyone stable on Dell inspiron 11-3162?) then the tty's will work when the desktop is lagging or malfunctioning or forgetting how to write a "d" for some reason: The ttys just work, and respond quickly. AFAIK, on a decent functioning machine there is no difference (except there are colors in the desktop terminals, and you can minimize them and other little reasons they're easier)
