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.

Thanks! From the video it looks much as I remember it. I always found it to be a solid 80% with the balance being a lot of small issues that added up to be annoying in totality. So if there are under the hood improvements maybe the effect will be to smooth it out and add another 5-10%.

My major recollection is that there were issues with the syntax highlighting and related features. That is handled by outside library so Geany just kind of gets what it gets. Maybe those projects could have improved over time. Anyway definitely worth switching back from kate once the update arrives at the manjaro repos in the coming days.
