You also attributed this to "Linux", instead of whatever guided installer/desktop environment you chose. I have never encountered the screens you are lamenting.

Quite the extrapolation from "A group sympathetic to the Iranian government" -> "the Iranian government" especially considering the source: "posts on Telegram and other social media".

Ghostty is awesome, ill echo the sentiment regarding lack of IPC/scripting API being my current hold back. Sticking with kitty til then. I still keep the ghostty binary on hand so I can +boo :^)

for libghostty consumers, favorite i've tried so far is neurosnap/zmx.

ive been working on glue for zmx+kitty (would do ghostty if it had proper ipc/scripting support). just changed the repo visibility on on gh cwelsys/kmux.

Running Asahi? or otherwise, How did a trojan slip through disguised as an init system which does not exist on darwin. (this is all assuming by "my m3 laptop" you are referring to apple silicon.. so i could be way off base)
