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.

The thing is, the modern OSes and programs have made mouse so compulsory that you can't really escape it. For instance, if you use a lot of creative software on your PC, can you avoid using a mouse? No. Playing games? No. Making games? No. Browsing the web? You can, but sometimes you can't because of it's noisy and complicated nature.
Btw, if you're on firefox, add this extension if you want to browse keyboard-only "most of the time".
We tend to think that a pc is used for everything, there are specific cases where a pc is only used for one particular purpose. Or environments where the administrator doesn't give you the choice.
The author mentioned this at the end of the article, specifically around those counter examples you raised.
Yeah, I know that but what was I trying to say that those counter examples have the most popularity when it comes to end-users using their computers.
I don't think you're disagreeing with the point the author made in their article.
I don't disagree, besides I find warpd very interesting, I don't know, it makes me think of using qutebrowser
