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.

Markdown for everything text-related.
I occasionally use libreoffice calc for when I need a spreadsheet.
Markdown is a good choice for text only. And I can easily convert it to pdf to share easily.
Except for stuff like libreoffice calc/excel.
What's your setup with markdown btw?
Good question :-) still struggling with that. I keep notes at work and I try to keep a wiki format, so with folders and everything. Actually VSCode is quite nice for that, it can preview rendered markdown. I put it to show the rendered markdown by default and edit on double click.
For sharing this notes: GitHub and Gitlab will render for you. Don't know about other platforms. I've used mkdocs in the past to generate websites but it takes a bit more work.
I did try vscode and cople of other things for this. I am currently using qownnotes for this. Could be better, but it integrates well with KDE. Pandoc for html and print to pdf on firefox if necessary.
