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.

I subscribed to this channel for Linux news, not furry pics. I block furry communities because I don't want to see this stuff, ever. I surely don't want it to come through my 'subscribed' feed that I feel safe scrolling through at work. It's just not the right community to post this imo. There are literally dozens of places for this content elsewhere on the fediverse let alone the rest of the net.
People wonder why Lemmy isn't catching on with the general population but this is a prime example of why Lemmy feels kinda jank. I shouldn't have to worry about weird fetishy cartoons on my tech community.
