I'll bite. What is your preferred way to use serial port console on linux? Kermit? I am really no fan of minicom...

Also, I'd take pterm over modern gpu electron nodejs turtle tower terminals. It has sane requirements and perfomance, behaves in a consistent, predictable manner and handles large scrollback very well.

Why bad?

I don't need to use a serial com that often, but when I do I use picocom. I'm already on Linux and wanting to do cli things so I want to use my normal terminal emulator. The readme doesn't really cover all it does as well as the man page.

If you're using serial heavily, https://www.vandyke.com/products/securecrt/

xterm is actually great, if you know to invoke and use the exotic control UI. That software is ancient.

Using putty's plink/pscp/pftp commandline tools are refreshingly straightforward and also have merit, at least as a way of not dealing with OpenSSH maintainer tantrums (each release inventing wonderful ways to break your setup or confuse you for no good reason).

It is all around small solid piece of software (like his puzzle collection), that is a magnet for all sorts of crooks that try to distribute their "spiked" versions, or try to charge for it...

I am amazed it has not gone the way of libtomcrypt yet.

No one in their right mind would use powershell core. zsh, fish and plenty of other shells are way mature and doesn't have Microshit behind it

Not going to comment on the authors state of mind but: https://starkandwayne.com/blog/i-switched-from-bash-to-power...

Then you shouldn't use linux. Go back to winblows
