Every person in Cybersecurity uses Linux and most are adapted to use VMWare or VirtualBox, however Terminal does everything I need it to do without needing those apps

Terminal's settings can be tweaked by a JSON file. This allows quick and instant changes, this program is light weight. The ability for it to add tabs for the different sessions and distributions you are working on is amazing.
