ONLINE | Taking the Back Off the Terminal

July's talk will be delivered by Thomas!

"The terminal is a familiar tool for many Linux users, and a spark for controversy on the desktop: is it an embarrassment that we still rely so much on the terminal, or is it an amazing power tool that puts the Windows command prompt in the shade? But what is the terminal, anyway? Where did it come from? What can you do with it? And why, in 2020, are so many programmers, sysadmins and computer enthusiasts still happily using such an old-fashioned interface?"
