Hi Vaclav,
Thanks for the detailed response. I would still have a preference for
option 2, it being relative ease to implement, and providing both a
startup with and without command line. But all options have their
merits for sure.
Cheers,
Paulo

Hi Vashek,
Thanks much for all the explanations :)
I guess yes, option 2 is fine (not much will change for me indeed). I'll

Hi Vaclav,
Thanks for taking the time to provide this detailed information.
So, perhaps option 5 is starting to look too complicated, and you are right
that I would probably always start grass from the terminal anyway. So,
option 2 overall looks reasonable.
As a separate PR, I think having a
Hi Vero,
I think the question is if a specific workflow is what we are aiming for or

Hi all,
I am ok with not having the terminal when starting grass from an icon, but
as Steven, I'd like to have a button to still be able to open the terminal
from the GUI. For example, next to the icon for the simple Pyhton editor in
the menu bar.
In my case, I teach Grass from the terminal
Hi Vaclav,
Thanks for this. My 2c is that the terminal should be made as optional because
it can definitely be confusing and intimidating/off-putting for new users.
Apologies if I’ve confused some of the options but here are my thoughts
regarding the start-up options.
