How come on Xubuntu when I open Vim through "open with"

>>59800881
Thunar is opening in a different terminal app (looks like XTerm). Not sure what the bottom terminal app is. Also we have a friendly linux thread, please don't start new threads for questions like these thanks

Why does this only happen on Xubuntu and not any other Ubuntu distro?

Windows 10 doesn't have this problem.

Xubuntu uses XFCE. XFCE is a desktop environment (like Unity, KDE, Gnome, etc). Desktop environments usually ship their own file browser application, along with other stuff (like text editors and even terminal applications).

So my guess is that Thunar, which is the XFCE file browser launches XTerm by default. There's probably a way to change this behavior.

I just installed Nautilus and it still opens Vim using XTerm

It has a bigger one, you can't actually Open Files with VIM through it's file picker

It could be the default xdg terminal app. Instead of an application launching a specific terminal, it asks xdg what the default term is and uses it. Try changing your default terminal in the settings app or whatever it's called

first is xterm, second probably xfce4-terminal

right click file, click properties in the context menu, use "open with" dialog field
