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.

Thanks for watching what I shared and sharing own thoughts :)
Your idea makes me think of my vague understanding of plan9.

Do you imagine something like a mind map from obsidian where things are linked or unlinked by tags?
It's pretty distant now, but I did imagine it from a user perspective to be something like a folder structure except you can "tag along" as you go, so that you can find the files from your subjective chain of association rather than remembering how the project is set up. Say to reach the file;
Consequently, you could have all relevant files collected or filtered depending on how you set up your paths like searching a database rather than keep track of different data structures of different department needs and such.
So you could call it a mind map of sorts.
My entry level experiments were with just "tags" (the keywords) but I imagined a file system that would incorporate everything filesystem like permissions, creation/modification dates, and next gen like file history, integration with custom content parsing and version control systems and stuff that are partially reality today with COW filesystems.
