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.

Wait? Why cat needs replacing? Do you have a link for bat?
Here you go.
Interesting.
I wonder if it'll work with lsp, when it sends data to pager. I'll start testing this out.
EDIT: Whoa... 23megs for cat clone. Rust projects do have a whole lot of dependecies. I counted crates 128 for this.
Oh well. I'll start compiling.
When I installed MX KDE on my laptop, I found out about yakuake as it was installed by default. I always use it almost immediately whenever I log in to run my update script. Saves a few extra seconds to just press f4 rather than click the terminal icon and then type. Absolutely love it.
Yasuke for Terminal because he was a sole black man in Japan of his time. Just like Terminal program is solely black as compared to most other apps.
Most people dont use dark mode on Linux because most apps look horrible in Linux under dark mode
Oh wow, cool story about Yasuke. Is that where Yakuake got its name from?
Among my friends, dark mode users hugely outnumber light mode users, I really don't have any apps that struggle to support it. LibreOffice used to be really bad, but I don't really edit documents anymore, so I don't use it often, but when I do, I don't see issues (although the document background is white, because paper, so the contrast is a bit weird). I'm curious about which apps didn't work for you.
What I heard is that it comes from Yet Another Quake (terminal), which comes from a tradition in programming of naming an application "Yet Another (something)", and they changed the Q to a K because KDE.
Code::Blocks is the worst offender
