      I use bat sometimes, but how do you stop it from wrapping lines?

        $ cat ~/.config/bat/config
        --wrap=never

    I don’t know why anyone would use more when less is more with more features.

    I thought Less is More?

    But because it comes first that is what I usually use.

      I use less always, and am genuinely puzzled by people who use more

        Old habits die hard? I used to administer old SunOS machines that didn’t have less (and would take considerable effort to install on all of the machines) so these days I just alias more to less

    less or bat, but I usually use by paging up and down so it’s not that different from more… My terminal emulator only pages up and down, I like it that way.

    Isn’t more like the main driver for our prospering civilization?

    Some might say that the shift in desiring less is the downward path for the over-saturated humanity.

    But lets not get too deep here.

    It’s said that less is more but I more or less use less more than more.

      I both understood that sentence perfectly and sounded like a crazy person while reading it out loud.

    I’m not sure if I’ve used more in the last 25 years. And when I did I think it was in MS-DOS.

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.
