Only way to do it. everyone knows ctrl-c angers the terminal daemons.

The true LinuxMan uses middle-mouse click to paste.

What season is that still from? I can't remember if I've seen it or not but I only saw about 3 seasons.

Yes. It's french

Trolling is a art.

It's weird to have grown up with things like bbc micro and MS-DOS and see how alien the terminal is to people who didn't.

Back then CLIs were all over, even like library catalog terminals, were CLI. TBF some still had card indexes though.

At university everyone had to ssh in to the email server from whatever tty client even on windows (nt4/nt5/98/2k/mackintosh PCs).

You definitely didn't feel like any hacker. The hacker level thing was to successfully connect via GUI mail client and actually have your emails update and sync properly - very few bothered.

Don't forget using cmatrix as a sudo-screensaver

We were all at some point at the stage where doing anything at all in the terminal made us feel like a god.

Some of us were at the point where GUIs weren't a thing and the terminal was the only option.

You copy paste the command.

$ sudo apt update
-bash: sudo: command not found
$

Your distro doesn't set up/install sudo by default, so your first task is installing sudo, then understanding /etc/sudoers syntax and understanding why the command to atomically replace /etc/sudoers is visudo and why on a multiuser system there's value to atomic replacement. In the meantime, you probably learn about su and maybe, if your distro has disabled them, how to enable switching to the kernel virtual consoles on tty1 through tty7 so that in the meantime, you can do things as root while staying logged in. Also, you're going to learn about environment variables, so as to set EDITOR, and where your shell config files live, what a login shell is, and in what shells ~/.bash_profile, ~/.profile, and ~/.bashrc run. Also, you first try running visudo as a regular user, but your distro places visudo in /usr/sbin instead of /usr/bin, so you can't figure out why it's not installed and are going to learn about the FHS and mlocate and updatedb so that you can find /usr/sbin/visudo and dpkg -S so that you can figure out which package it's in and confirm that it's actually installed and learn about PATH.

This fucking idiot here changed their debian branch to sid then wondered why the software store didnt work. Luckly I always backup config files. I mean, it's not that complicated to change some lines back, but still.

Also it's a vbox vm so I could always restore a snapshot. And it exists to tweak so it was meant to be.

shit got all fucked up because you added a third party repository

Dependency hell is always, always, self-inflicted.

apt is only SLSA1 or 2 anyway, so there's a lot more wiggle room.

$ sudo apt install cool-retro-term hollywood
$ TMUX='' cool-retro-term --fullscreen -e hollywood

You don't need to unset TMUX if you aren't already using and inside tmux, but including in case someone is.

$ !!

It keeps its handses on the home row.
