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.

Why do you have to mark cards manually? Anki's algorithm already reschedules cards based on what you're struggling with. Additionally the card browser has an ease filter that you can sort by.
How is the quiz you want different than what Anki already provides? Is it that instead of providing the answer from memory, you want to be provided a list of choices? I'd argue if you're studying, it is better to do it the "hard" way by just knowing the answer, and then acing the test since its the easier multiple choice format. When I did Net+ and then Sec+, most of my questions were formatted this way, but I also manually added the multiple choice questions that were in my study book. For that I listed all the choices in the question field, then just the question and answer in the answer field.
Lastly, this isn't really a Linux question though, as Anki is cross-platform. You may get more response on Anki's forums.
