Linux

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 entirely agreeing, but there are some things that are not quite there yet. For me it's mostly:

  • Bibliography sorting
  • Spellchecking
  • Syntax highlighting for lesser known programming languages like GDScript

Otherwise I don't really have complaints. If anything LaTeX was the one thing setting me back (and don't even get me started on Word).

For syntax highlighting, it'll soon be possible (might already be?) to add syntax highlighting languages yourself
