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.

Not gonna lie, I never really asked myself if nano was still in active development or not. It has just always felt like it was “finished” in some way.

Jeez, don't say things like that. 😆 I actually went to the project website for assurance they didn't.

Yeah I've felt that way for a long time. It's done all that I need and more since about 2003.
