If you select multiple files in Windows and accidentally open them instead of copying them, Windows will dutifully open each one. So will Linux. The difference is that if you decide you’d rather not click the close button 102 times, Windows will make you bring up the Task Manager, find the application and try to stop it. Then, it will hang while it attempts (and generally fails) to stop 102 instances of it. If you’re fortunate enough to have made the fuckup in Linux, you open a terminal and type “killall gthumb”. Hit enter, and the process immediately stops dead in its tracks and closes any gThumb windows that are currently open. Penguin power! 🙂
