OK, really good to know! I think I have aborted some processes while trying to copy-paste a command from the lines above.

On a lot of terminals your text is already copied when you just mark/select it. You can paste it then with right or middle mouse button

OK, now it hit me: Terminal is an actual software with it’s own properties, not just some kind of “neutral window” into the “truth” inside my computer.
I’m so used to graphical interfaces, that being text-based looks to me like being without properties on first sight.

Yes it is an application running under linux gui desktop.
If you want a true terminal then you have several native real (virtual) tty terminals you can invoke, you get the login prompt too. ctrl+alt+F1 thru ctrl+alt+F6 and ctrl+ctrl+F7 returns you to the GUI (windows).
These terminal are virtual ttys (teletype). When switching between them they remain in the active state you left them when you switched to another terminal/GUI.
Thus you could run the node in the 1st and test stuff in the second. Its 6 terminals direct to the linux system, not gui virtual terminal.

That was a bit too clever answer to my stupid question, I mean don’t know what any of this mean 
…and no need to explain, I’m not gonna dive that deep. But anyway, if I’m using some usual basic out of the box terminal that comes with Ubuntu for example, I can use several Terminals (terminal windows) to do different tasks, right? Is there an upper limit how many?
Even more off-topic: a friend of mine, a coder, is using blank keyboard, you know, no letters or any markings on the buttons. I guess many of you are too? Anyway that is an image that somehow condenses my view on the difference between the initiated and uninitiated when it comes to computers.
No, we just plug our fingers directly in to the usb ports

Who would thought that AMD Ryzen 3 can make a problem.
