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.

That's a valid point. I already have a similar but not exactly the same problem when I move between linux and macos, where the shortcuts don't really match or work.
The difference between ctrl+C on the browser and ctrl+C on the terminal already disorients me. I'd rather the shortcut work the 99% of the time I'm on my own machines.
I think I'll just have to really keep this in mind when not using my own machine.
I used to create tons of aliases and custom helper scripts. It became a real pain whenever I worked on a Linux server or something that didn't have all my customizations. Now I only have one alias (l="ls -Fhla"). Getting used to my snowflake system just made things more complicated for me..
