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.

Most of us hate Microsoft, and yet many of us use VSCode (lemm.ee)

I get that it's open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting

It breaks some system keyboard shortcuts

And so does Sublime Text: CTRL+SHIFT+U for inserting Unicode characters doesn't work in it. :(

I recently switched from ST4 to VS Code (Codium actually) because of this and because it's easier to set up a Python debugger.

I would imagine that setting up a python debugger would be the same on both since sublime also use vscode's debug adapter protocol.

It's basically one click in VS Code. It's more clicks in Sublime. 🤷‍♂️ Turning Sublime to a full blown IDE for a bunch of different programming languages takes work and I'm lazy.
