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.

Hey, curious why your themes need to be dot txt files?
Well, there is just one
themes.txt
file, created inside.config/basht/
directory. There is no particular reason why it should not be a.txt
. Would you suggest another solution?.txt would imply the file is just some prose. A theme file might be better named with a .theme extension, so as to better communicate the nature of the file.
Well, after a quick search, from that source, I found that :
I believe that the
themes.txt
file has not much to do with the above, furthermore, confusion between the two does not sound a good idea. What is more, one can say that file names such asthemes.txt
andcurrent_theme.txt
are quite descriptive and leave no doubts about their function. However, I think I understand your point of view. Perhaps I would consider renaming these in the future.So that definition has no weight for Linux -case closed.
If you dev for Linux, you don't need a file extension for text files!
