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.

Awesome, do you have a link to find instances?

It seems to work like Mastadon in that it's user-follow. Which means you can search for them in Lemmy but can't subscribe to them.
e.g. @guarachas_[email protected]
I can resolve the user on that Funkwhare instance, but can't see any posts or follow them.
Unless I'm doing something wrong.
