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.

Kwrite. I write a lot of text at work and I hate using word processors. I use this app for its excellent autocomplete feature. You type a word once and for next instances you can use tab to auto-complete. Very convenient.
I work mostly with Vim but when some task is easier with a GUI, Kwrite is the best. It's so quick, even with a lot of text. And that preview scroll bar they added recently, 👌
I thought KWrite was a dumbed down version of Kate?
Pretty much, but they've been the same executable for a while now.
OK, yeah that's what I thought.
