Ctrl+Alt+F3 sends you to TTY3, not a terminal. I'm sure you can make TTY3 grey if you really want to, but I doubt that's what you did.

But that starts a different tty, which will likely not be transparent for you.

- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of *thing*". - Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals. - Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the *thing* you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice. - Bigotry will not be tolerated.

3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD. - Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.

4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
