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.

[email protected] to access from your local Lemmy instance

Why create it at lemmy.world? It's barely federating as it is, half the time the updates take hours to reach other instances

They fixed a lot of load issues as of this morning so it might be okay. Lemmy.world itself already feels way more responsive. You have a point tho, might be better to host a Wine community on more FOSS centric instances.

I hope that solves lemmy.world essentially DoSing my instance at whatever intervals it would eventually take a turn to post all the stuff that had happened on it since the last flood.

Lemmy.world is far more foss centric than reddit can ever hope to be. The instance is good enough.

[–] Molecular0079 3 points 2 years ago

Oh no doubt about that! I didn't mean to imply lemmy.world was against foss. I just meant there's already instances that are very FOSS focused that might be a better fit than lemmy.world which is already overloaded as it is.

Can't tell if this is about the French national drink or the Linux software that emulates dos

French national drink

Okay, that gave me a good chuckle.

maybe create a linux_gaming lemmy sub and publish it there?
