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.

Is there any good gui application for mange these but also edit them in a user friendly way like getting a dropdown for a settings like: Yes/No, Country Sweden. Number size range etc. So include validation. Even nix os does not have that.

I'm new to Linux. Should I be using something like chezmoi?

If you spend a decent chunk of time on config, I'd say yes - it's worth learning 🙂

My casa es tu casa - you're always welcome

That being said, chezmoi helps you manage your personal configuration files (dotfiles, like ~/.gitconfig) across multiple machines.
