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.

Tabby seems to get a lot of hate in the comments here, but I enjoy it for the following reasons:

  • it looks consistently on all platforms
  • it has a nice working sync of connection profiles (even of ssh keys...encrypted!)
  • its opensource

Yes, it is built on electron-crappie, but for someone who jumps across different workstations with multiple hosts with their own configurations, tabby is very straightforward.

Could the sync be done with other means? Sure, but I won't bother since tabby offers that OOTB and I can get up and running in 5 minutes from a fresh install.

  • So can qt, gtk and pretty much any gui toolkit
  • Syncthing or git annex functionally the same
  • So is every other terminal

Basically just wasting resources for no reason
