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.

Maybe something like vim or emacs? Idk if they have tabs for different open files though
Yep, in Vim you can have different tabs (buffers) opened and switch between them
Oh cool! TIL! (Well I knew but I forgot lol) But yeah I miss how notepad++ saves what you had open before
I have tried both and I absolutely don't understand why people use those. Most IDEs work better in my opinion and for just editing text files nano is better. A lot of people way smarter than me use em but I don't see the appeal.
Idk I just kinda got used to neovim and made a custom color scheme too lol (although I'm still learning), but I might go and try out Geany again, I haven't used it in a while. And I don't use neovim for everything, I use vscodium for editing stuff like html and css
