It's more powerful but lacks a bit in interactive features. I use zsh for regular getting around and opening stuff but anything that needs logic I do in pwsh.

You'll have to pardon me for not finding time to read the manual and spouting nonsense! I'm going to get around to it real soon, just too much backlog!

Sorry never used it but one advantage of tridactyl is that the creator lurks here and is extremely responsive and kind. I will tell you what 3-fin can and can't do- Can: Js, key bindings, can show alpha and numeric hints. In numeric mo

Containers have some great add-ons built around them, have you taken a look? I agree with your point completely though- needs to be a front and center feature. I'd like to add something else- firefox should ship a 'power user&#x27

Great answer! I suppose one has to pay the regular virtualization penalties though?

Im probably in minority but I use powershell on my arch and love it. Finding duplicates has never been so easy- `Get-childitem -Recurse |% {[System.Tuple]::Create( $_.FullName, (md5sum $_.FullName).split( " " )[ 0 ] ) }) | Group-O

This is cool. People may I request to not squat on good names and being kind citizens? Question- what are your plans on handling abuse? And what are you requires to store by law?
