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.

Markdown for all rich text that doesn't need super fancy shit like latex
which markdown implementation tho ?
GitLab/Hub obviously. Also it doesn't matter since I don't need to compile it to read it.
Oh I'm not brave enough for politics.
You compile your markdown and don't read it raw? /s
unironically a good point tho.
I'd argue asciidoc is better, but less well known
asciidoc lost me because it's not a markdown superset. Why invent yet another way of marking headlines?
Also GitLab/Hub markdown is the standard and I don't think we need another.
That's a weird way of thinking. I could make the reverse argument.
This whole thread is discussing ideal standards.
