Tilix is a tiling terminal emulator for Linux built with GTK+ 3 and the VTE widget, supporting flexible pane splitting, drag-and-drop terminal arrangement, session grouping, and Quake-style drop-down mode. It follows GNOME Human Interface Guidelines and is packaged across most major Linux distributions.

Use cases

  • tile multiple terminals in one window
  • drop-down quake-style terminal on Linux
  • synchronize input across several terminals
  • save and restore terminal layouts
  • split terminal panes horizontally and vertically

When to choose

  • you want a feature-rich tiling terminal on Linux with GTK integration
  • you need drag-and-drop terminal arrangement and detachable panes
  • you want persistent terminal layouts and synchronized input

When to avoid

  • you need new features or active development - the project is seeking maintainers
  • you are not on Linux or prefer non-GTK desktop environments
  • you want a GPU-accelerated terminal like Alacritty or Kitty
