I keep getting notifications that

bash --login

is a command that has completed from gnome. Is this bad?

I’m not the one running these commands btw.

    does emacs have an integrated terminal view inside it? Seems like maybe it’s just creating a shell for you to use inside the editor or something? Either way, “bash --login” is just a login shell which I think basically just acts like if you had just logged in instead of inheriting most stuff from whatever process launched it. It in’t “logging in” like some user account or something. Unlikely that it’s something nefarious. At worst, it’s just usual buggy linux software interacting in weird ways.

      does emacs have […] inside it?

      Yes, it’s emacs.

      Seriously, it even has multiple terminal emulators.

        Yep.
        I’d recommend the non-built-in package vterm if you want a “fully functional” terminal emulator running your preferred “full” shell like bash/zsh/etc inside of it, and/or the built-in eshell if you just need a quick shell (not bash, just somewhat similar) which is written purely in elisp, which means it also works the same on all platforms Emacs runs on. But in most cases I use vterm.
        There’s also “term” and “shell”, both built-in. I only use vterm and eshell.
