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 started using GitHub before Microsoft bought it, what should I be using instead? GitLab? Codeberg? Something else?

I think Codeberg is totally open as opposed to GitLab which has an open core and paid enterprise version. There's also SourceHut but you have to pay to use it (no free tier). ~~As far as I know there aren't any public Forgejo instances.~~ (Codeberg is Forgejo)

I think any of these are better than GitHub (I say as I still use GitHub).

I might be mistaken, but I think Codeberg is the official public Forgejo instance.

Affirmative, Codeberg is the "official" public Forgejo instance and the organization which contributes the most to Forgejo development.
