How do I launch the default terminal emulator by command? x-terminal-emulator won't work because I'm not using a Debian and xdg-terminal doesn't seem to exist either. Is there any other way to launch the default terminal emulator?



It will be on GNOME although the terminal might not be gnome-terminal but e.g. tilix instead.



Already found this, but a hard-coded list or something similar probably won't do, because I'm looking for a single command that can perform this.

    I'm afraid there's no generic concept of default terminal emulator. To get the GNOME desktop's default, look at this: stackoverflow.com/a/18647630/4457671 (use "get" instead of "set").
