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.

Really, how awesome is that?

We could also show some support being active there from our Lemmy accounts!

am still figuring out how i get on the other platforms from here

Not sure what you mean by that. You can't log into a Mastodon server with a Lemmy account. And I don't think you can follow a Mastodon user from Lemmy. They're just designed to be separate, for good reason.

i meant to comment or just see the content from there, like i've seen mastodon users' comments here on lemmy and lemming comments on peertube

You simply follow the Lemmy community (displayed as "groups") on Mastodon.

and lemming comments on peertube

Just follow the PeerTube channels (displayed as "communities") on Lemmy. As seen in the OP.

thanks, i got it! i just managed to comment on a video :D

funny thing is that, through lemmy, i can only see my own comments, although there are several additional ones from peertube's view

EDIT: re-phrasing

Interesting, my understanding is that they should appear on PeerTube but maybe they have disabled that.
