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.

Every year I allocate 100.- (around 100$) to share between every geeky project I want to support.
My list includes: Lemmy, Memmy, Joplin, Wikipedia, Organic Maps, Gnome, Thunderbird, Firefox, peertube)
I could give more, but I could give less.
I’m also trying to support the Linux Experiment with Patreon.
I do the same thing around xmas
I heard Organic Maps was ~pulling some shit.~
Edit: eh, idk if that's accurate
Well, from reading the linked post it seems inaccurate.
Personally I’ve never used any link in Organic Maps or any advertising.
But thanks for making me aware of that controversy 😇
