Linux

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.

Interesting aside for anyone interested; you can subscribe to her Peertube account with your Lemmy account by searching !veronicaexplains@tinkerbetter.tube in your instance's search bar (or clicking that link). Then any video she uploads in the future will show up in your lemmy feed, and any comments you leave on lemmy should show up on the peertube video! :D

and any comments you leave on lemmy should show up on the peertube video!

This is cool to see. Unfortunately, we from Lemmy can't see comments posted by peertube or mastadon users. AFAIK, federation in Lemmy still needs improvement to interact with mastodon posts/comments.

The link you posted seems to have the full url embedded so it doesn't work in my client. I think this will work, pasted as plain text: !veronicaexplains@tinkerbetter.tube

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 5 points 10 months ago

Ah, you're right, it autocompleted with the full URL. Edited the comment to match yours. ^^

Neat, does this work from other peertube channels too?

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I believe so, should work with any peertube channel.

Have there been many posts in the past month? I only see one 3 weeks ago, not sure if it's a federation issue

I'm not sure if the lemmy page will fill out with her previous uploads, I can only see the one about SSH on my feed too. She seems to upload fairly regularly, and this latest video about Linux Mint was uploaded 20 hours ago. I suspect if you're the first person to subscribe on your instance, only future videos will show up on it, but I'm not entirely sure.

Makes sense, I was subscribed from a previous post but I'll see if the new stuff shows up soon :)

Is that supported by any Android apps or can I only do that via web?
