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 think a lot of the recent AI tools could be fun as toys to play around with, but I'm just very uncomfortable using tech that exploits everyone who doesn't own a huge megacorp.
Also, emacs as a replacement for my graphical editor. It feels like there isn't a "neovim" style modern version, and there's a steep learning curve to configuring it.
Also, Wayland. Come on, Cinnamon. ;_;
If you want something similar to vim or neovim, but without all the fuss learning how to configure it and install plugins and such, you could try helix.
