Linux

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.

Honestly I think it's all about balance.

Some interactions are much easier with a mouse. Other thrives with keyboards.

I wish there was an easy way to have mail within emacs. Everytime I'm drawn to it I'm lost in all the alternatives and each configuration seem quite complexe to implement

I haven't used emacs for mail but I was a huge mutt user back in the day before I surrendered to using Outlook at work (employer blocks IMAP on our Exchange Online instance and I didn't want to go through the hassle of getting it permitted for my personal mailbox). I'd check that out, the config is pretty easy and you can search github/gitlab for other people's configs to get you started.

I had multiple mailboxes mapped to the function keys, F2 for primary mail, F3 for work, etc., it worked beautifully.

Ha yes. I've used mutt sporadically before. Nice soft.

I've just remembered that my employer will go exchange only before summer :/ it was nice while it lasted.
