Control + D

More of a shortcut, CTRL + A + D to exit the current session (exits a sudo su first, then a ssh, then the actual terminal)

Saving this thread for later, but I use rsync -a a lot.

Have you heard of our lord and saviour rclone?

I haven't gone back to rsync in a long time.

A great cd alternative

Also $ sudo paru -Syu

I often play an old DOS game in DOSBox, and when I exit it doesn't reset the screen resolution. So I reset it manually by typing

xrandr -output e-DP1 -auto

rsync

I use it to backup important work to an external drive.
