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.

Not just text editor, but also IDE via rocks.nvim.
Ever since I wanted to edit some file that had like 2000 lines and I just wanted to quickly go to line 1164.
Nano wasn't cut out for that and I hadn't heard of emacs.
But I use a Typematrix dvorak keyboard, so I had to rearrange all the command.
Now I'm stuck with it.
Yeah, whenever I type
git commit -m "message goes here"Also, I wanted to program on a server, so I ssh'd into it and decided that vim was the way to go as an IDE.
git config --global core.editor "ed"if you don't like using vim.
edis the standard Unix text editor!
