Replace Black Box with Ptyxis as the default terminal
This issue continues the discussion from this Discord conversation.
Feature Description
Ptyxis is becoming the default terminal in other GNOME-based distributions, such as Fedora and Ubuntu. It offers native container integration for Podman and Distrobox, providing a better user experience.
Current Limitation
When using Apx containers, Ptyxis currently logs in as root instead of the host user who launched them (chergert/ptyxis#200).
Prototype Proof
Running podman run -dt --user 1001:1001 debian:latest allows Ptyxis to log in as a normal user.
Proposed Solution
- Replace Black Box with Ptyxis as the default terminal (installed as Flatpak). Optional: Allow users to select their preferred terminal app.
- Update Apx to correctly set the default user.
