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.

Everyone here keeps talking about how the UI is amazing, so maybe this is the right place to ask: is there an FOSS office suite that has a command pallet like coding editors and GSuite do, where you can tap a hotkey and type the tool name without having to dig through menus?
LibreOffice has that. Only thing is you'll need to do is set the hotkey manually, I believe the default is
Shift+Escbut some LO apps may not have that configured. Go toTools > Customize > Keyboard. Click inside the shortcut keys pane and press your preferred key combo (I useCtrl+Shift+P). Then under functions, start typing "search" and look for "Search Commands". Then hit the Modify button to assign the shortcut key to the function. Now if you pressCtrl+Shift+P, it'll bring up the command pallete just like vscode.Emacs, if you're willing to go down that rabbit hole.
