    Wow! Donations to children of Uganda was about 68k in 2018, and 78k in 2019. That’s awesome. I guess this is a good time as any to donate.

    Each time I tried to switch to an IDE, I returned to Vim after a few days. Nothing compares to it, and vim-modes always seem nerfed to me. RIP

    Sad news, 62 is way too early. I’ve been using Vim and the Vim modes/plugins of various IDEs (currently IntelliJ) for many years now, so I’m going to donate to ICCF in his memory.

    :wq Bram, rest in piece.

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.
