    Progress indicators. Typing out a long command only to have it just sit there with no report is frustrating.

      On BSDs you can do ctrl+T and it prints progress, there were plants to implemented this on Linux, but it didn’t get enough traction.

      even a spinning icon would be nice. It’s hard to tell if I should kill something or if it’s still in progress / finishing up

      I’m about 20% competent in Linux so thank you all for the comments. I pretty much dabble and spend a lot of time using snapshots lol
