Yakuake is a KDE based terminal emulator and I have to say, it’s my favourite terminal application out there! You can set it to run on startup and define a hotkey which allows you to show/hide the terminal window whenever you wish. It’s a really handy tool which has no noticeable effect on my systems performance.

It’s so much quicker than using shortcuts to Terminal. It also looks better. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was used it an action/adventure film, as in DieHard4.0 they used linux, I imagine this is next for the film industry as it does look like a “hackers tool”.

You can install Yakuake and try it for yourself by using the apt-get command:

sudo apt-get install yakuake
