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.

you're preaching to the choir here; my fault for not including the sarcasm/snark tag.

Lmao sarcasm is indistinguishable from the full on brigading from the "help tankies are brigading us" instances going on in here to me 😅

friendly fire is common on the lemmyverse and i think it's because of the reddit liberals; they've managed to get almost every single reddit refugee to self sort into a few instances to protect their delicate sensibilities so they're incredibly well organized and funded, or they're EXTREMELY dedicated individuals to the point of doing it full time for free.
