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.

I've been enjoying novelWriter for a few months now.
It's FOSS, works on every OS, and is created by a writer who was frustrated with the other options available. She and another writer co-designed it initially, and there's a respectably sized community built up around it at this point. It's got the kinds of features that writers actually need, and avoids bloat. So they say, and in my experience that's certainly been the case.
Now this is what I was thinking of. Incredible and glad to see that it exists. Thank you!
