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.

Is it common than whenever somebody brings up "emacs" its a wall of text? Please don't take seriously.
Yes, Emacs users are very thorough so expect lots of detail.
It has paragraphs and an unordered list so it's technically not a wall of text :)
There is truth in it though, it's fun to ramble on about all the cool stuff that we get to do with Emacs.
But why would anybody read that in a topic about terminal file managers.
The comment was talking about dired which is a file manager that runs inside Emacs and Emacs can be used in terminal mode.
