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 both installed kwrite and kate... whats the huge difference there? That one is more code focused and has git implementstion but still the same?
They are essentially built with the same text editing component, more specifically, kwrite makes use of kate through kparts for the editing component only, to provide a more stripped down interface as compared to kate.
So usually, when I have both and want the most features, its technically unnessessary bloat to have kwrite installed? (Except I feel like I want a stripped down interface for that moment I guess)
