Does gtfo() then work as expected?

They meant that you'd get the same message no matter what unrecognized option you use. So it's not like they added a specific check that if you type in -h they will give you the message, but instead you get the same message for any unrecognized option.

The thing in the OP only occurs if you type exit, so they specifically added that message to be shown when the interpreter clearly knows what you want, but you just didn't say it exactly right.

And what's TCP/IP?

Especially that + and - act differently. If + does string concattenation, - should also do some string action or throw an error in this situation.

Thanks for the warning. I am currently running Fedora (because "it just works") and I'm drowning in bugs and incompatibilities.

I was considering Bazzite because of all the recommendations, but considering my luck (and probably my hardware combination) I'd probably end up just like you described.

On Reddit you'd be banned for that statement. Good that this is not Reddit.

Multiple reasons can be true at once.

It's not the client, it's markup.

Nice, a relevant xkcd that I didn't guess before clicking the link! Well done!

Have you tried JDownloader?

It seems like you don't have a very broad exposure to closed source development.

Probably not. 15 years is not that long, what do I know, I'm just on senior expert level.

Companies run skeleton crews on crap products that don't make money. Stuff they give away for free or that's only used by legacy customers. Stuff they can't shutdown because of contracts or because it still making a bit of money.

You might notice if you get escalated to development enough that it's always like the same guy or two. It's because they might only have a couple of guys working on it.

This is where your lack of knowledge about products like that shines through. It's common to only get the same guy or two, because that's the people designated (or willing) to talk to customers.

In real life, OpenSSL was run by a single person. That's not a skeletton crew, that's abandonment.

From what you are writing you aren't a programmer and you haven't worked in a software corporation before, but instead just extrapolate from your experiences with customer support.
