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.

That's like the picture of a normal dude with Nano, a large Vim dude, a larger buff Emacs dude and an ever larger massive Ed dude.
Do people still use ed unironically outside of scripting context?
Unironically? Maybe not. But using something ironically is still using it.
Ed is like Skynet itself.
Don't forget the joe user in the corner wearing a trench coat with a bomb strapped to his chest wired to a dead man's switch.
eh the emacs folks are just chilling in a corner somewhere. Maybe in the old folks home together with the ed users
