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.

Oh boy, wait until you discover that Emacs can do terminal emulation, terminal multiplexing, text editing, file management, and app launching, all configurable and scriptable with a single, powerful programming language... and allows you to record keyboard macros that run across all of the above features. You'll go down a rabbit hole from which you will never emerge.
All it misses is a good text editor, but you can run Vim in it.
So, then it isn't missing a good text editor. Install Doom Emacs or Spacemacs instead of the usual Emacs, and you have all you need.
Can't you even do your emails in emacs?
I believe tetris is included.
You are both correct. I also read my RSS feeds in Emacs (which includes my YouTube subscriptions), manage my knowledge database with org-roam, use Mastodon on it, and sometimes chat on IRC or matrix with Emacs.
I use kbin rather then lemmy, and the kbin API isn't complete, but looks like there's lemmy support in:

Admire the Emacs spirit, but vim has been imprinted on my mind for decades. =)
I'll just say two things: Doom Emacs or Spacemacs, and I'll just shut up now.
