  • I doubt they’re outright rejecting any idea of progress. They’re likely just not convinced by what the fancy options offer

    Exactly. I don’t mind progress. But terminal emulators that does things you become dependant on, is not great in my opinion. Because what happens the day you only have a TTY to get things done? If you rely on all the fancy stuff, you would feel lost.

    So yeah, I am not convinced that I need my terminal emulator to be fancy. But some people clearly are, looking at the rest of the comments on the post.






  • Instead of just linking to the information, which may be removed in the future, you could have also pasted a snippet of a relevant section. Like:

    If --force is specified twice, the operation is immediately executed without terminating any processes or unmounting any file systems. This may result in data loss. Note that when --force is specified twice the halt operation is executed by systemctl itself, and the system manager is not contacted. This means the command should succeed even when the system manager has crashed.
