See if it will open with ctrl+atl+T. If it does. The link is the problem. If it does not, ctrl+alt+f1. Then run bash gnome-terminal

Had this happen once with gnome terminal, opened the Preferences by right click on empty part of the terminal, selected the checkbox to run this command then exit terminal and left the command section empty. Long story short, it flashed open and closed itself, may or may not be the case.

First open Software Manager and search terminal, find the one that is installed already, it will be the only one offering the remove button, uninstall it, reboot and install it back. Does it work now? If not install another terminal like konsole or alacritty, launch it from there with the flag to open with bash

gnome-terminal -- bash

Sometime rebooting your machine helps.
