From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

KDE is better than GNOME
Vim is better than Emacs
Wayland is better than X11
Systemd is better than any other init system
Rust in the Kernel is better than C

Add your own, if you dare. Linux is an operating system.

Nano > Vim/Emacs

My two brain cells are happy with a program that doesn’t take a degree to operate when I just need to ~~break~~ edit my fstab or some config files

I don't get Vim, at all. If I have to sit down and study it how efficent is it really? I am a fan of Vim inspired software though. Qutebrowser was really nice.
