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.

I'm looking for a new terminal. What's your favorite one and why? Which one is popular?

I like Terminator,
for it's ability to split one terminal window into as much as you want:
https://gnome-terminator.org/

In combination with Fish shell,
for it's auto completion + syntax highlighting:
https://fishshell.com/

And lastly, BobTheFish,
a nice git-aware powerline theme to go along with it:

Love me some fish! Though for more complex data processing, I'm working on learning nushell. Being able to work with more complex data structures is amazing.
