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.

Zettlr is GPL. I'm using Obsidian for work. They're the same people who developed Dynalist and they refuse to sell their company (it's a two person shop). So I trust they're not going to sell out. But if they do, it's all in Markdown and they have export features so it's not like you can't port your data over somewhere else if you don't like the direction it's taking. IMO the data portability is one of the most important things. Re: privacy; Obsidian app has never once made an internet request with my firewall and I've been using it daily since January.
