The Linux kernel is a computer secretary. It turns organizes hardware into files and it handles scheduling.

Okay, but what are blocks then? A file is really just a bunch of blocked stacked together with the inode metadata also sitting on another block, so is everything just blocks or because you can emulate a block device on a filesystem, are blocks themselves files? If that last part is true then files are infinitely recursive and my head is starting to spin.

I lost a decade of photos. I now use Ente photos and Proton photos since I screwed up so bad.

I’d look into Fresh if you want to really have the whole gui-style text editor experience inside a TUI application.

If you haven’t, I highly recommend checking out Fresh, it’s like micro with even more standard text editor features.

Micro or even better is Fresh. Make use of the modern terminal features for mouse interaction, text highlighting, and standard shortcuts.
