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.

This sent me down a rabbit hole since it's something I've half-considering for a while. I prefer text configuration rather than GUI so I ended up installing graph-easy on my debian laptop:
sudo apt install libgraph-easy-perland made a first attempt to diagram the power setup in my campervan
It's a perl module but the
graph-easywrapper makes it behave like any other CLI tool. cat or echo the config text to the wrapper and the graph pops out on STDOUTThanks @fratermus@lemmy.sdf.org But graph-easy is text to graph. and I'm looking to draw ! so draw to ~graph(ASCII) but it's a nice program too.
