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.

@2xsaiko Was this in response to my response to someone asking about new distros? New to Mastodon!
Haven't noticed the snaps much, but when I have, it was something weird that made me think it probably wouldn't have happened if I hadn't installed the snap... probably my aversion to learning something new and unrelated. I absolutely hated systemd when it first got pushed by Redhat, but I've come around.
Yeah, not liking the tone of that developer. Maybe needs an LLM-bedside-coprocessor. ;)
@soulrx@mastodon.social It's in response to this comment. Looks like Mastodon doesn't really deal well with Lemmy comment threads (and I think I have to explicitly tag you for you to see it?) :P
