What does this even mean, “a world without shells”? What is running inside this newfangled terminal if not a shell?

Yeah, exactly my thoughts. At retirement age, most or all your investments should be low risk.

And make sure to use enough vermouth! None of this “wave the vermouth bottle near the shaker” nonsense. A martini should be about 1/4 vermouth as a starting point.

Seriously, why didn’t they stick his arm through one of those portals and then close it? Wouldn’t that sever the arm and separate Thanos far from the gems?

It’s for work only, no gaming. I have a Steam Deck and a Linux desktop for gaming.

My hardware refresh came up this year. I asked for a MacBook instead of a windows laptop for the first time in my long career. Linux isn’t an option at my org yet.

This has the stench of junior engineer all over it. This rewrite will go way over budget and come limping across the finish line late, with more bugs and less features than the system it replaces. I guarantee it.

Wake up babe, Reefer Madness 2 is about to drop

Re: length of commands, PS commands are longer, but they also have tab completion so realistically you never type the whole thing, only enough to be unambiguous and press tab. I'll grant it's still longer than the equivalent bash, but not by as much as it appears.

Yes, but the alternative is not problem-free either. There are no easy answers here, but I don’t think the current situation is ideal.

I believe it isn't really the people; it's the mental illness or addiction that keeps them from accepting help. Every chronically homeless person I've met is one, the other, or both. While I understand it's tempting to think that we should let them decide whether to accept help or not, I don't think that worldview takes into account that you're talking about people that are actually incapable of making decisions in their own best interests. I personally think it's inhumane that they are not taken into protective custody and allowed to live in dignity.

I'm new to Linux; I fled from Windows in the wake of 10-11 ever-accelerating stream of bullshit.

Anyway, I have major muscle memory for MRU window and tab switching with alt-tab and ctrl-tab. Edit for clarity: I also want to be able to navigate to the Nth most recent tab by holding Ctrl and pressing Tab N times, then releasing Ctrl. I use it all the time to switch windows, switch browser tabs, and switch IDE tabs. In Windows, I could also switch Terminal tabs in MRU order, and I miss this in Linux. My distro (Mint) comes with gnome-terminal, which as far as I can tell doesn't expose MRU switching as an option.

Is there an alternative terminal that does support this, ideally with ctrl-tab? Alternatively, if you use MRU switching in other contexts but not in your terminal, what do you use instead?

UPDATE

After installing many different terminals and poring through documentation of widely varying quality, I have found at least two terminal emulators that just do what I want, out of the box: Konsole and QTerminal. I'll dive deeper into the relative merits of these two for now. If you know of another terminal that does what I described, or any crucial info about either Konsole or QTerminal, please let me know!
