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 am aware of the compose key, I was just never a fan of it. I have it set up to replicate my previous autohotkey script on my laptop but I found that in some rare cases, pressing the next key for a word I am typing would change the letter from what I intended to something else.
Using the compose key like 'compose + " a' also feels unintuitive to me and introduces one more key for me to press, though I could likely get used to it with some effort.
