An action/adventure type game, with an expansive world to explore, a huge set of skills, a lot of things to do .. and is just generally fun.
Beautiful and artistic. Very forgiving gameplay. A very linear plot. Has some unfortunate mini-games that break the general style and fun.

A terminal multiplexer
I use it only in fairly dire circumstances, usually when at the TTY console. It’s essential in that circumstance, even if it’s only to lock the console screen (with ^a^x)

A file can be “summarized” into a short string. That string can be compared with the file again to determine if it’s the same file. This is often used when downloading a file to check it after the fact. This sort of thing is built into compression software, but using md5sum is way faster/easier because it doesn’t need to put the file in a container and uncompress it to use it.
There are various other programs which do similar things, like sha256sum. These all come with almost all Linux distributions.
