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.

Is there a way to sync todo.txt with Tasks, similar to how GNOME calendar syncs with Google? (lemy.lol)

I use Google tasks for my todo list. This GNOME extension is nice and minimal and just what I'm looking for, and it uses todo.txt. Is there an easy way to sync my changes with Google, similar to how the GNOME calendar app does?

EDIT: Endeavor (GNOME "To do") seamlessly integrates with Google Tasks and ostensibly todo.txt but I can't get it to recognize the todo.txt (I'm not sure it would sync todo.txt > Endeavor > Tasks even if it was working, however).

Why would you use Linux when you literally sync your todos in plain text to big brother?

Well. Linus Torvalds himself is or was using Google Gmail, and with the popularity and dependency on smart phones it is not that surprising to see lots of Linux maintainers and developers use Google products. Heck, the famous Ken Thompson even works for Google.
