The age old question is what's the best text editor: Vim or Emacs? Well, there's a third editor that needs to be considered. And no, it's not Nano. I'm talking about Kakoune, a modal text editor that claims to be more efficient by using less keystrokes and being less mistake-prone.
It's a question that I constantly get asked: "What can I do to learn Linux?" I typically respond to such a general question with "Just use Linux." But today, I decided to answer the question in more detail, by listing out the top five things that helped me learn more about Linux.

What are loop devices? This is a question that comes up a lot these days, especially from Ubuntu users. This is due to the fact that Snap packages are mounted as loop devices.

'Twas the night before Christmas. 'Twas also the night that I decided it was time to leave Windows behind and switch to Linux!
NOTE:
The original poem is linked below. I did modify a few lines that would have seemed out of place in the year 2022.

Manage your virtual machines locally or remotely using Cockpit, which is the successor to Virt-Manager (now deprecated). You access your VMs in Cockpit via a web interface using your web browser. The interface is friendly and it has most of the features that I would expect to be there.

Today marks the one year anniversary of the death of Terry A. Davis, the creator of TempleOS. He was a very interesting and colorful person who was very popular in the tech community due to his uncontrollable outbursts on web forums and social media. Terry suffered from schizophrenia and was homeless for a time. I wanted to make this video as a tribute to Terry and to highlight the need for more funding and research into mental illness.

Have you ever visited a Linux-related chat room, forum or sub-reddit and noticed how much hate certain projects receive? You may have used some of these "hated" projects and liked them, which naturally makes you wonder, "Why all the hate?!" Let's discuss...

GNOME recently posted an announcement that they support minorities and stand firm with Black Lives Matter. They claim to support everyone "no matter what the color of your skin, your accent, or your background." This caused a bit of a stink, even within the GNOME community, because GNOME has a Code of Conduct that has some rather divisive and discriminatory language.
