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.

One of my greatest pet peeves is random folders appearing in my home folder. Thanks for this
Let's count them. (not including legacy or standard locations like .local, .config, or .cache, .ssh, and shell configuration files
And a couple more, non-hidden files for Go.
If these were links to issues that could be reacted to, I'd totally do that.
