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.

I've been waiting for this. Been using Kate on Windows and Linux, which is great, but running Zed is just so lightweight. It's like a truly open source Sublime Text.
been using WHAT??
A wild username reference appears!
There's an editor called Kate. It's probably not named after you, but if you're young enough and the person who named you was into tech, you might be named after it.
I named myself but im into tech does that count
Programmer error: I totally missed a bunch of edge cases there. Cases 32 to 35 for sure
Buuut I'm guessing you didn't name yourself after the editor.
GOOD article
