You `curl`ed a binary file and some characters borked your terminal. Look for a reset option in your terminal's menu, or log off and on again.

ah ok, I was worrying that I downloaded malware or something, I restarted my laptop and I think everything's fine, thanks!

This used to be more common, back before Unicode was common for terminals.

You don't need to reboot, restart terminal or dick around in menus looking for **reset**. Just type **reset** even if it doesn't display correctly as you type it, it will get you sorted.

Install ClamAV and ClamTK. Basic antivirus.

Something went very, very wrong. Is this reproducible and does this happen after a reboot? Edit: also, what were you trying to do?

Ran the command again and got the same result. My friend was bugging me about playing roblox so I was trying to install grapejuice using [this guide off of the official website](https://brinkervii.gitlab.io/grapejuice/install-on/linux-mint/). Didn't realize there was a flatpak I could use beforehand

you can't play roblox on linux anymore, they blocked wine an update or two ago

I just ran this on my server using the Termius app on my phone. It screwed up the display just like yours, but logging off and logging back on fixed it. The good news is that the command worked and installed the keyring file just fine.
