About
Transform your new tab page into a true, high-fidelity command-line environment. Start Terminal 2.0 is more than a start page; it's a complete productivity suite built on a new foundation: a Virtual File System (VFS) with a real multi-user permission model. This is a complete architectural rewrite, designed for developers, power users, and anyone who loves the power of a real shell. Key Features: * True Multi-User & Permission System 1. Use login google to add accounts via OAuth and su [username] to switch between them. 2. Features a real permission model: ls -l displays file owners. Use chmod (symbolic u+x and octal 755 supported) and chown to manage permissions that are actually enforced. 3. You cannot rm or nano another user's locked file. * Executable Shell & VFS Scripting 1. Your .startrc is now a real, executable script. Add welcome, echo, or other commands to run them automatically on startup. 2. Includes a VFS with /etc (for configs) and /bin (for scripts). 3. Use nano to create your own scripts in /bin, and run them instantly with sh /bin/myscript or ./myscript. * Package Manager & Optional Permissions 1. Use sudo apt install [pkg] to install sandboxed commands like weather or curl. 2. apt intelligently requests optional permissions (like history or host access) at runtime, keeping the extension lightweight and secure on initial install. * Advanced Shell Power 1. Link commands with pipes (|) and run sequential commands with semicolons (;). 2. Full session environment including alias, unalias, export, and source. 3. Advanced tab completion for commands, sub-commands (downloads ls), and file paths with quote handling. * Full Browser & System Integration 1. Browser Control: Manage bookmarks (ls, cd, mv, cp), tabs (tabs ls/switch/close), history (history), and downloads (downloads ls/open). 2. Utilities: Includes open, search, wget, tree, date, cal, whoami, and more. 3. Customization: Personalize your prompt with export PS1 and change fonts/sizes with the style command.
