From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Seems outside of what one would expect from a terminal. There's dedicated app to handle this task.

It appears to have the display functionality of swaybar, the default dock of Sway.

Sorry if I sound dumb, but which kind of program would be the one to display the output of text based interfaces, also called terminal applications, if not a terminal?

Waybar/polybar or one of the scriptable widget systems.
