Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, Deepin is an Ubuntu derivative that uses the Deepin desktop environment which is based on Gnome Shell and has its own Software Center, Music Player and Terminal emulator.
Among others, the Deepin Terminal emulator has support for horizontal and vertical screen split, enables the users to change the font and color and set a custom background image for the terminal and adjust the transparency.
In this article I will show you how to install the Deepin terminal emulator on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr, Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Pinguy OS 14.04, Elementary OS 0.3 Isis, LXLE 14.04 and other Ubuntu 14.04 derivative systems.
Because it is available via PPA, installing the Deepin terminal emulator on Ubuntu 14.04 and derivatives is easy. All you have to do is add the ppa to your system, update the local repository index and install the deepin-terminal package. Like this:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/deepin-sc
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install deepin-terminal
Optional, to remove deepin-terminal, do:
$ sudo apt-get remove deepin-terminal
