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.

Downvotes with no replies explaining why? This is happening a lot.

I use qutebrowser and still show tabs, but this is a very interesting approach. Thanks for the rec.

Pretty sure it was just emacs users instinctively swatting the vim enthusiast.

Qutebrowser is very cool! Personally I want to use firefox's engine (or at least not something chromium based). Otherwise I would have jumped ship to qute or surf already. Currently my only gripe is that the plugin doesn't work on pdf's and other special pages, which is not an issue on qute.
