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.

Kate, Terminator, k4dirstat and the amazing clipboard history app in KDE.
Any reason why Filelight hasn't replaced k4dirstat?
The clipboard history app is great, but I still wish it let you pin/bookmark things you don't want it to auto-delete. There was a pull request to add it in a while ago, but it was nixed because it would make the tool "too competent" and app-like. Except that it's a pretty standard feature of clipboard managers, wouldn't make things any more complicated for those who feel like ignoring it, and none of the alternative apps work with global shortcuts on Wayland!
