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.)

Jerboa is FOSS and available on f-droid, that's what I'm using at the moment.

Also the dev behind Redreader is talking about pivoting to support Lemmy instead once reddit goes down, so keep your eyes on that.

I really like the shift in the community. Now developers are already thinking of migrating their app to a lemmy backend. Especially in the Apollo subreddit this gets suggested hundreds of times. I really hope that the big apps will eventually shift as well and this might be a big thing moving people to try out different platforms
