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 ended up also reading this article from the dude, which I found even more interesting.

Cool. Thanks. That post may encourage me to finally learn more about tmux. From that list of software I'd use neomutt rather than Alpine with Midnight Commander (nnn is nice but not for me yet) and a mpd client.
Yeah, I'm already using cmus and have used ranger before so I'd probably stick to those myself. (or try out lf for a file manager). I also mostly do email on my phone, and don't have a Thunderbird alternative for the terminal so I'd probably stick to just my phone for email. I've also tried zellij so I might consider that instead of Tmux.
