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.

I use both Mac and Pop!_OS (Gnome) and I like and dislike both. MacOS has a great qulcklook that I miss in Gnome. Sushi almost corrected that oversight but it hasn't worked right for me in a couple of years now. I also like Mac's useful icon shortcut in the window title bar.

Gnome's extension system is a clusterfuck, but at least I can decide how windows function, unlike Mac.

What is the quick look function you're referring to? Are you talking about command spacebar to quickly find stuff? You can do that in Pop with the super key.

I'm talking about previewing PDFs, mp4s, and photos in the finder by selecting the file and hitting the spacebar.

And Linux really needs an app like Preview too.

Huh, I didn't even know that existed. Thanks!
