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.

I'm at the point where I'm considering moving to vim because I'm sick of the lack of good defaults on Nano and Micro for quick edits, and I'm also tired of IDEs breaking my flow with poor defaults that pop open UI components which must be navigated differently depending on what it is, or just switching back to the mouse every couple seconds.
Just haven't made the jump yet because I want to sit down and go through all the hot keys in one go, including for global stuff like tmux, the DE, etc.
