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.

the keybindings...I wish FOSS would settle on standard keybindings. I have no time or energy to learn a new set of keybinding for every dang program I try out. I didn't read anything in that article that made me think these programs had magical skills for finding files with scant info. Both MarkText (FOSS) and Obsidian (proprietary) can do that.

Alternatively, I wish more programs would offer editable keybindings
