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.

That’s why it’s impressive. It’s not easy.
Oh, for sure, but to me it's "building a car with a screwdriver" impressive. It's impressive that the feat is doable at all, but why one would subject themselves to this eludes me haha.
Some people just have a natural affinity, I guess. If it made the programmer happy and it’s not full of maliciously exploitable bugs, why not?
Oh, for sure! But I'm a developer myself, so like most of us, I tend to take my technical opinions as gospel by default 😉
Sometimes it can be fun to push your limits or see how far you can go down some personally motivated rabbit hole. Just saying, I'd never do it with bash myself. Don't get me wrong, I write bash scripts all the damn time, but the second it gets more complicated than aligning a handful of simple commands without too much output parsing BS, requiring some obscure awk one liner nobody understands after 2 days, I bail out to something less awkward.
