Linux

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 await your much improved solution then. It sounds so simple, I bet you knock it out over the weekend, right?

Actually, i thought about merging rdo and ssu, both a bit over 100 loc in C. Yes, it would be feasible over a weekend. I just have a lot of other stuff i need to do first.

Found ssu here : https://github.com/illiliti/ssu Can't find rdo. What is it ?

Thought about "merging" because ssu works without asking for password, but it has weak argument parsing (need 'ssu -- stuff') and works only on cli stuff. "Merging" meaning taking some inspirations from rdo to fix ssu. But ssu is great if used in yay (aur helper) or for nano, mv & co.
