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

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

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

    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.

    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.

      is that an alias or a sys env?

        Sys env. It adds syntax highlighting to less. Needs the highlight tool of course, there are others.

          oh, it literally pipes into another tool! I thought that vertical bar was a config option for less lmao

            Yeah, less is weird there with needing the pipe.

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.
