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.

Adding to that:

neovim for workstations
curl
wget
zsh

Edit: So essentially for me, I forgot to include it: vim, my beloved, always and for ever

Def curl and wget!

Zsh is great but I ended up falling back to bash for simplicity.

Im not really into the bash simplicity, but it's proven and stable.

I just have a git repo with configs on my git Server, I make changes regularly and roll them out with a quick bash script.
