For those who don’t know the image source, it’s from Kung Fury, a short comedy (half hour) on youtube. Fully recommend for over the top parody of bad 80s action movies.

    Idk I don’t know about & either (I know && but I’m guessing it’s different), but you can ctrl+z it, then use bg to run it in the background, then disown to divorce it from the terminal.

    I’ll try firefox & when I get home and see what happens though, I’m assuming that’s what he meant.

      I tried & and it lets you continue sending commands into the terminal. Typing firefox & and then disown and closing the terminal yields the same result as opening firefox through the GUI.
