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.

Some applications can't display some Unicode strings like s̵t̵r̵o̵k̵e̵, so replacing Markdown element like
~strike~with Unicode equivalent (s̵t̵r̵o̵k̵e̵ ) may not be a good idea if you want portability. I opened your post in text editors and noticed that neovim-qt drops s̵t̵r̵o̵k̵e̵'s combining characters (issue on Github) and just displays stroke instead of s̵t̵r̵o̵k̵e̵; GUI Emacs with my font settings (Noto) doesn't combine the characters and displayss-t-r-o-k-e-(as I said, this may depends on font settings).Yeah, of course font an tool needs to support it. Well ok, maybe we're not yet there. On the other hand, Emacs and Vim are quite old. It works in Kate, Mousepad, Leafpad... Nano does s-t-r-o-k-e too. Geany does a mix where it displays correctly but each char has two strokes, weird. But that is still good enough.
