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 everything is an individual file though, a lot of the stuff needs to be stored and maintained as bulk folders.
I mod operating systems and occasionally games, plus write software. I can't just dump off all text files into a single folder, that'll just dump off all readme.txt files off into a single TXT folder, losing association with the project folders from which they came.
Isn’t all the code in git somewhere? I would totally do that for code projects.
I do the same thing with arduino code so I know where you’re coming from.
Not my code, I didn't even have internet access when I started programming.
I feel you. I started coding before the internet even existed (well technically it existed, just nobody had access to it)
