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.

emacs org-mode
Just Emacs in general
I've recently started replacing most of my shell usage with org mode and babel, along with GitHub copilot and similar LLM backed tools it's like autocomplete on steroids
Highly recommend pairing this with David Allen's GTD and Rainer König's excellent course Getting yourself organized with Org-mode
I'm a Vim user to my core, but I still use org-mode with this plugin (and Orgzly on Android) because of how useful it is.
I worry I'm not "hardcore" enough for emacs (I have tried in the past and now mostly use Vim). I will give it a try though as quite a few people recommend here!
It takes a little bit of getting used to, but I found once limited myself to a few useful features I really started using it every day. For the most part I organize myself inside of Jira, but for tasks that I am currently thinking about I put them in a org-mode document. I have a few minor customizations, use a few hot keys, and that's it.
