As you can see from my history, i was once an enthusiastic ubuntu user. I would hereby like to assert that i no longer recommend using ubuntu to anyone. I recommend using one of the many distributions that do not include ad-/spyware by default.
Wow, that is perplexing, when I googled it I got lots of hits, including some from the Ubuntu forum. I would expect that you would find some if you used the search function of the forum.Originally Posted by Andreas1

It doesn't occur to me what you would want with a terminal covering all your screen space if you have a fairly modern monitor, and there's no reason I need to know, but you could do it if you choose to.
yes, i got lots if hits, mainly people asking the same question, and the only solution i found is what you too suggested:
that's what i meant by "almost maximized", the --geometry option only allows for numbers specifying the size of an unmaximized window, not the same, as can be seen in the screenshot:
