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.

Which terminal emulator do you use? (lemmy.world)

I've always just used konsole or gnome terminal. Never really looked into what else is available. Tried cool-retro-term the other day, but the novelty wore off pretty fast for me.

Curious to see if there's a terminal someone swears by and refuses to use anything else.

It literally doesn't matter

It doesn't matter to you. There's all sorts of reasons it might matter to other people like right click support, SSH profile management, how it handles tabs, and on and on...

Garbage features for noobs

  • mouse in the terminal??
  • ssh profiles?? That's the ssh config files
  • tabs?? Use NeoVim or tmux or zellij
  • and on and on...
