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.
Rules
- Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.

you know maybe that is what I should just do. I remember way back when being blown away by virtual desktops but never really ended up using it. It would be a good use case.
Yeah, the good thing about that solution is you’re not tied to a specific terminal program. Enjoy kterm, use that. Like alacritty, no problem. Have some weird need for xterm? Go for it.
