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.

Cool! And good to see flake.nix right out of the box as well :)

Although I'm a bit annoyed that it forces its own colortheme rather than use the default colors so that it matches the rest of my system.

Nice! I see that it was inspired by sysz, which I already find very helpful.
