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 still don't understand why I should need GPU acceleration for my fucking TEXT EDITOR
I mean, it should be clear. Smooth and fast and snappy. If you don't want that, use neovim like me :)
But... Neovim is smooth, fast and snappy 😭
Terminals applications are, by definition, not smooth. You can't have smooth scrolling, or anything else really, with a text grid.
Idk I'm so used to working in terminal I don't really notice that. For my eyes, it's smooth enough
Hold down
jand lmk how smooth it is 😅😭😭😭
