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.

Should I pronounce that “Wissy-wig” note-taking?

[–] frosch 17 points 8 months ago

Yes, I think that’s the consensus on how to pronounce it.

In case anyone has never heard the acronym: it stands for what you see is what you get. As opposed to what you see is what you mean (e. g. TeX)

I personally go for "wizzywig" but to each their own.

Ooh I haven't seen this one. Anyone have a comment on this vs the KleverNotes project? I think that's the name.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

While this is all news to me, the biggest difference seems to be that MarkNote allows for rich text notes. I'm curious to know what I'm missing, cause I'd think they could have just added this to KleverNotes.

Booom, how cool is that

Nice! I'm not a KDE user, but I'm always happy to see more markdown editors under development!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I wasn’t aware of this. Will definitely give it a try for work.

Obsidian does this better. But I’m happy to have more options.

There's always Logseq. I'll stick with emacs org-mode though. Learned how to use it in highschool and loved it since.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yes, and Obsidian has a Linux installer.

But I can't afford a diamond pickaxe right now
