This is appalling. I do all my work on the console (apart from web |
| 10 |
browsing), and with this development, Linux effectively becomes unusable |
| 11 |
to me. I will NOT be bullied into using second rate alternatives like |
| 12 |
X-Windows terminals. |

Thanks for the heads up! |

Well, it looks like I'll have to stop upgrading my kernel at 5.8.n. |

That can only be a short term answer, though. |

Question: I'm a C hacker; how do I go about getting to restore (and |
| 27 |
enhance) this essential facility myself? |
