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 get that it's open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting

I use NeoVim, but I don't hate Microsoft (they contribute a lot to Linux kernel). What is wrong with me?

I prefer Linux but I do think that the hate for Windows is blown out of proportion. Teams is a whole different story.

Oh god teams is a great example of a product that is only successful because of a walled garden

Don't think I've ever heard an opinion of teams more positive than "it's good enough"

For anyone who likes neovim but wants a little extra UI, I've been liking LunarVim recently. Unfortunately their install process is not trivial, but worth it IMO. I still use NeoVim for quick editing of files due to the slightly longer boot time of LV, but for extended writing its nice.

Been using NeoVide for a while for that matter. It's mostly ok. I'll definitely give LV a try, thanks for the suggestion

Nothing is wrong with you, you use NeoVim.
