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.

Can't live without the terminal? Embed it directly in the file manager.

How?

I was also curious about this one. There’s a link in the comments of the article that points here:

It involves some python libraries.

That Nautilus Terminal says it no longer works on the GitHub page. https://github.com/flozz/nautilus-terminal

Which sucks because that sounds great.

Thanks for pointing that out. I was planning to install later this week. It’s a shame that it’s no longer because yah, it does sound great.
