So, iPhones retain their value better?

Yeah but have you ever gotten the cord caught on something and had the earbuds ripped from your ears? Instant rage.

Not any language. I code professionally in F# which has semantic whitespace and it has literally never been an issue for me or my team. In contrast to Python, it’s a compiled language and the compiler is quite strict, so that probably helps.

They hated him because he spoke the truth

I bought music on cassette and again on CD, but never on 8-track.

88, really? It couldn’t have been 87 or 89?

No, I haven’t watched any myself, just saw some in my recommendations

There are videos on YouTube of other designers doing detailed criticism of the character designs if you’re interested

I had to look his name up myself. 😄 I was going to post a picture of his punchable face, but seeing the whole cast, he didn't even stand out all that much compared to the rest. They all look like a bunch of bad cosplayers.

Make it F2P but charge for cosmetics that completely rework the art style. Almost all the characters look insufferable and I particularly want to punch Lennox in the face every time I see him.

I really only bought Returnal and Stellar Blade on PS5, and they're both either on or coming to PC anyway.

OK, I also bought Elden Ring and Final Fantasy 16, but of course ER is already on PC and FF16 is also coming to PC. (Do not buy FF16, it is a terribly shallow RPG and also terribly shallow action game with terribly shallow characters)

I've been using Windows personally and professionally since 3.1, and Windows 11 was the last straw that finally got me to jump over to Linux for my home PC. I hate what Windows has become but I've got a lot of history with it. My experience with Linux (Mint FWIW) has been as smooth as it ever was in Windows, neither of which was perfect. I'm a definite convert from Windows and would encourage most people to consider taking the leap themselves.

I gotta disagree with you about modern Powershell and terminals in Windows, though. Good terminal? Windows Terminal has been around for years now. It's fast and functional. Whether Powershell's parameters are "sane" is probably a matter of taste, but I'm definitely willing to stick up for its usability. Yes, the parameter names are much more verbose, but they all get tab completion out of the box, and you don't have to type the full names at all, just enough of the start of the name to be unambiguous. For personal automation scripts, I think Powershell is way ahead of Bash. Parameters get bound automatically without needing to write for/case loops with getopts. You can write comments at the top of the file that automatically get integrated into Powershell's help system. Sending objects through the standard pipeline means you spend a lot less time and code just parsing text.

 

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!
