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 can try the LTS kernel if that is available on your distro but honestly Intel Wi-Fi cards are the way to go on Linux. I wouldn't buy anything else!
Also I’m not sure you can @ someone that way.
@Link @linux Yeah the kernel changes nothing, I might have to change to intel because I dont know what else to do at software level
About the @ , I'm using my mastodon account to write all these posts and they are added automatically. Besides thats the best way for the posts I write in mastodon to appear as comments in lemmy clients. If they look weird to you it might be activitypub compatibility bugs but nothing too important :)
Oh that’s very interesting. Didn’t expect Mastodon to be able to comment directly to Lemmy.
@Link @linux Yep, writing from Tusky right now. The fediverse is great :)
