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.

Thanks for the answer!
Warp has really cool features (seems to be beyond LLM?), but what kept me from trying is that its not open source, and seems to have anti privacy features, and VC-funded. It is still a very tempting product, so maybe I will try it.
Zellij seems interesting. I'll check that out!
Can you talk more about zellij? The docs don't really explain much. It seems to be a multiplexer like tmux?
One reason I haven't used multiplexers yet is that I use tiling window managers, and so the tiling is managed by that through separate terminal windows.
If you want to have a single window for multiple shells or you want to replace use of tmux in an SSH context, Zellij is exactly that. The plus side is if you work remote from your machine, an ssh connection will feel faster than a VNC session to the same machine. IMO 100% a difference you can feel if you already remote to your work desktop.
I haven’t seriously used it yet but I should. If you’re a fan of text environments it’s worth a shot. I’m still rocking multiple putty windows like a caveman.
