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.

I use Pulsar for working on my many JavaScript projects. It's a FOSS, community-maintained replacement for the canceled Atom text editor.

Oh this is awesome! I really missed Atom and VSC just isn't the same.

Thank you for sharing!

Glad you found us at least :) Those were the exact reasons we wanted to keep it alive, I tried but I just can't get used to VSC having used Atom for so long.

Yay, always nice to see people mention it (outside of myself just shouting it into the void :P) - we are active on Lemmy now at [email protected] too.
