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 new GNOME text editor is cool but lacks many features I need

My trial of it went like this:
> Upgraded to Fedora 36
> "wow new text editor?"
> See it lacks features like extensions, also the option to use tabs instead of spaces doesn't seem to work
> Uninstall it and install gedit..

I hope the new editor catches up to gedit ASAP, because I like it aesthetically
