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.

Hi there, while your post is technically on-topic, it would be more appropriate to post it in a community like !unixporn@lemmy.ml - that way we're not flooded with screenshots. :)

I'll leave this post up for now, unless we get many complaints.

Yes, I'd like to file an official complaint. What's the P.O.Box number to post it too ? :-) On a more serious note, for OP @GFGJewbacca@lemm.ee and others, Garuda Linux turns out to have their own Lemmy instance : https://lemmy.garudalinux.org and well as a community here : https://lemmy.ml/c/garudalinux Have fun!

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !garudalinux@lemmy.ml

That's really cool! Didn't know that. Thanks for sharing, since I've just subscribed to the community.

I used Garuda in the past and was impressed. What's cool is they have a bunch of ther own services in addition to Lemmy.

Sorry about that. I'll keep that in mind if this gets taken down. Thanks!
