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.

By pure chance, do you know the name of the tool that lets you pipe to vim, then from vim to the next command?
No, but that sounds amazing.
Found it. It's
vipefrommoreutils. Seemingly it just uses your $EDITORThanks for letting me know. I'll definitely check it out. I can already think of a couple uses.
