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 tracks, I also happen to be on Konsole and Plasma 6! That explains things!
About the video, it's a wordless demonstration with minimal in-terminal narration and ... Mozart as the soundtrack for some reason? The whole thing along with the manpages-only doc did give me newbie-hostile, elitist vibes which were a stark contrast with zellij's "look at all the cool things I can do!", friendly approach.
Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate well written manpages, goodness knows they're often written as an afterthought, but zellij's documentation is just amazing at getting you started and understand the philosophy with a super hands-on approach. Honestly, kudos to them.
