Step-by-step, task-oriented guides - do this, in this order, to get this result.
Installing Starship, a fast, shell-agnostic prompt that works identically across Bash, Zsh, and fish, and configuring which information it shows.
Running multiple shell sessions inside one terminal window, splitting panes, and, most importantly, keeping sessions alive across disconnects.
Setting up a terminal-based file manager for navigating, previewing, and manipulating files entirely with the keyboard, without leaving the terminal.
Installing and configuring a full-screen terminal system monitor for real-time CPU, memory, and process information, entirely keyboard-driven.
Setting up Windows Terminal specifically for a smooth WSL experience: default profile, font, and the settings that most commonly need adjusting.
Installing Zsh as your shell, setting up Oh My Zsh, and configuring a theme and a first useful plugin, from a default shell to a productive one.
Set up 86Box, PCjs, or MartyPC to recreate the 5150's real hardware - 8088 at 4.77 MHz, floppy-only boot, PC DOS - and feel the 1981 constraints.
Where to legally read the code behind computing history: Netscape 1998, early Unix via TUHS, museum releases like MacPaint, and id's GPL drops.
A practical checklist for verifying tech history claims before repeating them: earliest sources, denials, primary documents, and citogenesis traps.
Run preserved historical software in your browser through archive.org's collections, check provenance metadata, and use emulated originals for research.
