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.

I try using Org-mode/Latex with pandoc,, but end up using only Office for docx and PowerPoint.

I'd say 95% Markdown + Pandoc for when I make documents. The other 5% is LibreOffice.

When it comes time to make graphs and charts I really like wasting my time so I always try out something new (or old) to get the job done. Last time I used Pygal.

When it comes to dealing with docs from colleagues, it is all LibreOffice and Zathura.
