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.

Projects that are experimental or daringly innovating the terminal and command line world? (lemmy.ml)

What projects are out there seeking to innovate in the terminal and command line space, and improve or revolutionize the terminal environment?

NuShell is one such example, a shell that uses structured data in its pipelines. Many other experimental shells out there innovating in different spaces.
An even more daring example is DomTerm. It's a terminal emulator with more rich rendering. Supports rich text, images, etc while maintaining xterm compatibility.

Please do not shy from answering projects that are very experimental, early stage, break a lot of backwards compatibility or radically change the current way of doing things.

Fzf isn't really experimental. It's pretty mature at this point. I found it to be pretty innovative, though, adding an interactive spin to the find program.
