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 understand you're excited, but aren't you overdoing it a bit?
Quick give me more subs to crosspost
We need more cross posts
on Reddit I think it makes sense but on Lemmy it's usually obnoxious in my experience, because it's not so populated and busy, the default browsing experience already gives you posts from all over... so unless you strictly browse followed communities (which i don't know if most people even do this) you end up seeing the same thing over and over.
[email protected] is on there twice ???
