This #ptyxis terminal looks pretty sweet. I installed it on my #PostmarketOS box, but it was kind of heavy for such a low-power machine. It also didn't seem to come with a fraction of the colour schemes I would want to use and I don't have time to roll them by hand.

But the #podman integration […]

Screenshot of Ubuntu 25.10 with the Ptyxis terminal emulator open. The app preferences are also open showing setting tabs for Appearance, Behavior, Shortcuts, and Profiles. There's a plethora of settings and themes available. Also shown is the terminal running a Kagi Ask command to learn that Ptyxis is said like TIK-sis. Also shown is the tabs view, which is like GNOME's applications view. In general this terminal uses a very clean GNOME design.

I upgraded to #Ubuntu 25.10 and the new terminal emulator went totally under my radar. I've never heard of #Ptyxis before a few days ago.

With #Wezterm struggling on Wayland, I've been going back to #Terminator. So, this terminal upgrade is very welcome.

I'm […]

Slackware-Based PorteuX 2.3 Is Out with GNOME 49, Improved Webcam Support Discover the latest PorteuX 2.3 release, featuring GNOME 49 and enhanced webcam support. Upgrade your Slackware experience today with these exciting improvements! The post Slackware-Based PorteuX 2.3 Is Out with GNOME 49, Improved Webcam Support appeared first on Linux Today.

PorteuX 2.3 brings GNOME 49, new terminal, Linux kernel 6.16.7, and more PorteuX 2.3 introduces GNOME 49 with the new Ptyxis terminal, kernel 6.16.7, updated desktops, and improved build performance.

**New terminal and image viewer apps are included in the latest development builds of Ubuntu 25.10, along with a much-hyped switch toRust-based sudo and, less-hyped, the arrival of new Ubuntu Insights and hwctl packages.** Not that most of this is news to regular readers. At the start of the ‘questing’ cycle, developers working on Ubuntu announced plans to ship _Ptyxis_ and _Loupe_ as default terminal emulator and image viewer respectively. Both are solid replacements to _GNOME Terminal_ and _Eye of GNOME_ , designed to advantage of new technologies and libraries, and do things the old ones couldn’t. Under the hood, Ubuntu 25.10’s switch to sudo-rs is designed to bolster the distro’s security thanks to Rust’s inherent memory safety features. While sudo-rs is not a 1:1 replacement for the old sudo — and isn’t designed to be — users shouldn’t notice any change. Ubuntu Insights supplants Ubuntu Report for “transparent, consent-based non-PII system info and metrics collection”, with greater scope for expanding its functionality down the line. Getting this in now, ahead of the next LTS, is important – same with `hwctrl`. New command-line tools running the new _Terminal_ app But if you downloaded one of the new Ubuntu 25.10 monthly snapshots or an older daily build, you wouldn’t have found the new apps and tools included, and might’ve wondered if Ubuntu had abandoned plans to switch — thankfully not. It’s simple that making changes to ‘seeded’ software can’t happen idly. Default apps _and_ any critical dependencies they use need to moved to the `main` repository to be part of the default seed. All packages in main receive greater support commitments from Canonical, so anything added has to be checked and vetted – that takes time. Hurdles cleared, Ubuntu 25.10’s new apps are baked in to the latest daily builds. Anyone currently testing Ubuntu 25.10 — hopefully on a non-critical device or in the safety of a virtual machine — will receive the new apps through regular software updates, no need to do anything special to get them. For those who upgrade to Ubuntu 25.10 from Ubuntu 25.04 in October, it’s not clear if GNOME Terminal or Eye of GNOME will be automatically removed after the replacements are installed. Generally, Ubuntu doesn’t do that, and keeps both around. Both apps currently use their regular Adwaita icons, rather than their predecessor’s Yaru ones. As UI freeze isn’t in effect for Ubuntu 25.10 yet — the big Yaru theme drop yet to come — the apps will be using more familiar icons shortly.

Screenshot of Ptyxis menu. Instead of menu text there's rectangles in place of characters.

Well, that's interesting. Any ideas how to fix this?

Numerous updates, patches, and new features included in the Fedora 41 release

Photo of a shoot tip of datura. The young emerging leaves are scarcely folded at all—instead, they are just bowed slightly. The shoots terminate in large, erect flower buds. Photo by Scott Zona CC BY-NC 2.0.

The emerging leaves of Datura wrightii have curved ptyxis. The young leaves have a slight curvature or lengthwise bowing of the blade. (Pay no mind to the big, erect flower buds in this photo!) #Solanaceae #ptyxis #morphology #Botany #PlantScience 🌾🧪🌱

Photo of an emerging and expanding palmate leaf of a palm. The accordion folds are visible. Photo by Scott Zona CC BY-NC 2.0.

Palms have plicate ptyxis. Developing blades have accordion folds, onto which the segment divisions form. Entire lineages have segments with either v-folds or ᴧ-folds, so that’s always a good character to check when identifying palms. 📷: Coccothrinax alexandri #ptyxis #Arecaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Photo of a stand of droseras. The erect linear leaves are covered with insect-trapping glandular hair. Young, emerging leaves are coiled like fiddleheads. Photo by Scott Zona CC BY-NC 2.0.

Emerging fern leaves are rolled up lengthwise & are called fiddleheads. A few Angiosperms also have this kind of ptyxis, called circinate. The sticky, linear, insect-trapping leaves of Drosera tracyi have circinate ptyxis. #ptyxis #morphology #Droseraceae #Botany #PlantScience 🌾🧪🌱

Photo of the tip of a leafy shoot. An emerging leaf has its margins rolled down toward the underside of the midvein. Photo by Scott Zona CC BY-NC 2.0.

Some leaves emerge with the leaf margins rolled backward. This is revolute ptyxis as demonstrated by Triplaris cumingiana (#Polygonaceae). #ptyxis #morphology #Botany #PlantScience 🌾🧪🌱

Photo of an emerging sacred lotus leaf. The leaf blade is erect and the two sides of the leaf are rolled inward toward the center. Photo by Scott Zona CC BY-NC 2.0.

The leaves of Nelumbo nucifera have involute ptyxis: both margins are rolled inward toward the center. It’s easy to see on emerging leaves. #ptyxis #morphology #Nelumbonaceae
#Botany #PlantScience 🌾🧪🌱

Photo taken by looking down into a rolled-up emerging leaf (possibly a banana leaf). Several brown bats are roosting. They have suction cups on their thumbs and feet and are using the suction cups to hold onto the leaf.

Two lineages of bats have features for roosting in supervolute Zingiberales leaves. In Madagascar, a sucker-footed bat lives in Ravenala leaves (bit.ly/3SSvDwV), & in S. America, another lives in Heliconia et al. 📷: Spix’s disk-winged bat, Julius Stölzle CCBYNC4 #ptyxis #Botany #PlantScience 🌾🧪

Photo of an emerging canna leaf. It is rolled into a tight tube. One side of the leaf envelopes the other side of the leaf. Photo by Scott Zona CC BY-NC 2.0.

The entire order Zingiberales is characterized by supervolute ptyxis. Bananas, gingers, heliconias & cannas all have their leaves rolled up in bud. It is easy to see in the red-margined leaf of Canna indica ‘Musifolia’ (#Cannaceae). #ptyxis #Zingiberales #morphology #Botany #PlantScience 🌾🧪🌱

Photo of a hand holding a leafy shoot. The leaves are green on the upper surface and golden brown below. The two halves of young leaves are folded like a book. Photo by Scott Zona CC BY-NC 2.0.

Photo of the terminal shoot of a plumeria. The young, emerging leaves are folded lengthwise on the midvein. The two halves come together like a book.

One of the simplest forms of ptyxis is convolute: the two halves of the leaf are folded together like a book. Two photos to illustrate it: 1. Chrysophyllum oliviforme (#Sapotaceae) 2. Plumeria rubra (#Apocynaceae, 📷: goatling CCBYSA2) #ptyxis #morphology #Botany #PlantScience 🌾🧪

Black and white chart with diagrammatic line drawings showing different ways in which leaves are folded against in bud. The caption gives the names to the various morphologies.

Ptyxis (the p is silent) describes how a leaf is folded in its development. This chart from the classic paper by J. Cullen (Notes Royal Bot. Gard. Edinburgh 37: 161-214. 1978) shows the surprising diversity in ptyxis. They can be useful ID characters. #ptyxis #morphology #Botany #PlantScience 🌾🧪🌱
