Linux

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.

Hey there. Just started my journey with lemmy and am not so much a fan of using it in a browser. Is there some linux app I might try? (I use arch btw.)

If I had 3 more of me, I'd build a cross-platform desktop app for lemmy using the rust gui framework iced.

!remindMe when someone creates a repo for this so I can contribute

Not sure there's a remindme bot, I haven't seen many bots around here. Might be best to set your own reminder if you want to come back to this.

No one wants to 😞 . I have over 90 github notifications alone in the span of several days, each of them requiring at least 5 minutes of response or investigation. I just want to code.

I'd be happy to help if possible.

I'm not an amazing coder, but I could definitely review PRs or issues in my downtime.

I have a feeling you're about to get a lot of offers for help in the coming weeks!

The Jerboa technology stack can be used to make desktop applications. The app have a "tablet layout" for bigger screens?
