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.

Tried atuin for a while, didn't like that it took over my up arrow and slowed me down quickly editing previous commands
I'm giving atuin a try right now and the first thing I noticed is what you just said about the up arrow. I don't need to invoke the full atuin command history screen when I just want to quickly edit the last command. In its default state, the up arrow does the same thing as ctrl-r so it isn't particularly useful, in my opinion. The developer suggests making it more useful by setting the up arrow to invoke a "local" command search, meaning a search of commands that were used in the current directory. Alternatively, you can disable the remapping of the up arrow key and just invoke atuin using ctrl-r. I think that's what I will try next.
I might give this a go, I just ended up getting rid of it completely out of frustration when I was trying to work
