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.

Doesn't your browser warn you before closing a tab where you have entered text in an input field?
Yes, but that's not always the case. For example, I use Portainer to drop into the shell of my Docker containers with a "terminal UI" and that tricks me into using Ctrl + W.
I am not entirely sure, but I think it depends on the page if it warns if text is in an input and you want to leave the page.
