Is it possible to implement target platform for Flatpaks?
https://github.com/calo001/fondo/issues/141 I stand corrected -- it is not Wayland related, you can see what caused the bug here. But my point is -- it is not meant to be used in anywhere other than elementary OS. If you look at the issues, almost no one is complaining about critical issues on elementary OS -- I can see people installing it on Debian 10, KDE Neon, Ubuntu 20.10, Lubuntu, Fedora 34, and someone even complained about problems when running it on the Pinephone with Phosh. How is that fair to the developer? They are getting bad rep because people are using their software in ways that they are not meant to. It's like complaining about a car crash because no one was in the driver seat.

Created this script so I can take a nap during the compilation
https://github.com/elementary/terminal notifies you when a process completes and the terminal is not the active window. I implemented this feature way back in... 2014 or so. I'm surprised it has seen little uptake in other terminals, but I can't imagine working with long-running processes without it nowadays.

Is Linux Actually becoming More Popular?
Some terminals have that feature built-in (I think its called 'natural copy and paste'). For example, this one has it.

Make terminal change it's theme according to the system theme in elementaryOS 6.
This is planned and just needs some design work and then to be implemented. The current code for style schemes I'm Terminal and Code both are pretty complicated to support arbitrary styles under the hood, so it will also likely need some rewriting of that whole system. You can see a previous attempt at it from me here, though a more experienced desktop developer could probably clean it up a lot: https://github.com/elementary/terminal/pull/546

Discussion: Terminal's color palette wouldn't pass Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 for color contrast for text legibility. Should the palette change to improve legibility?
Although it doesn't fully resolve the problem you explained, there is a PR for custom palettes -- https://github.com/elementary/terminal/pull/542 -- but it doesn't seem to have been merged into the mainline at all, likely due to the upcoming dark mode stuff in elementaryOS 6.0.

One PR a month: February and March
One of the things I like about elementary is the care taken with UX. For instance, for less experienced users pasting random commands in the terminal is a sensitive operation, specially if these commands involve administrative privileges. For this reason, elementary's terminal app shows a warning when the user pastes commands involving sudo or with newlines.

Padding around text in terminal?
