GNOME Terminal PowerShell Profile

Install PowerShell Core.

Create PowerShell profile

1. In GNOME Terminal, create a new profilie from default settings.

2. Copy the Profile ID from the lower left corner of the Text tab. Alternatively, obtain it through dconf.

3. Save powershell-profile.dconf somewhere, then import it. Replace <profile id> with the ID from step 2:

   dconf load /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:<profile id>/ < powershell-profile.dconf

Customize the GNOME Terminal launcher

1. Save org.gnome.Terminal.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications. This is a modified copy of the official .desktop file from /usr/share/applications.
2. Restart your computer.
3. Right-click the Terminal launcher icon. Beneath "New Window", there will now be a new action labeled "New PowerShell Window". This will open a GNOME Terminal window, themed to look like PowerShell, and present you with the PowerShell Core prompt.
