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.

What I forgot in my previous comment: I have bunch of *rc aliases to open a specific config file with my neovim. It does not matter how the configuration file is named, with an extension, with rc in name, in what directory, it always follows the pattern singlecharacter+rc. Here some examples:
As you see, it can even be a directory and not a file in case of nvim config. It would then show a filemanager on that directory with many config files.
Edit: Another thing I forgot (man I'm getting old) is that you can add a backslash at the front of a command, to run the actual command and not an alias. A common example is to have
alias='grep --color=auto'
andalias='ls --color=auto'
. If this gets in your way, just run the command as\grep
or\ls
to run the original command instead.
