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.

Mosh: Like ssh, but better (e.g. local echo and persistent sessions across sleeps / network changes) (mosh.org)

Mosh hasn't had a release in quite a while (Oct 2022). While that's not that old, and there does appear to be somewhat active development, it's a little slow moving for something that might be open to the internet directly. I used to use it but ssh with tmux is mostly fine and makes me feel a little safer because of their wider use.

Hopefully talking about it more will interest more people in the project and possibly interest more people in contributing
