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.

Yeah, mirroring the other comment here -it's standalone app everytime for me. I'm a bit of a power user, so maybe it's the extra functionality that just can't be handled in a browser which already has 20 other tabs open, but live colab is ... well, just not used that often.
Sure, we'll be tweaking cells in a spreadsheet now & again, but my technical documents are done by one person, then reviewed (comments, track changes, etc) by others for the audit trail.
And I'm just not going to purchase a Microsoft product again.
But I will contribute to Open Source... ODF has done great things.
That does make sense. Thanks.
