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 guess it's time to create a GitLab account.
won't work, this is their own hosted gitlab instance lol
Pretty sure you can connect to your gitlab account.
Oh then create an account there I guess.
Still it's ridiculous they only allow submissions via a gitlab account. Oh and not only whatever gitlab account - it has to be done with one created in that instance. Same thing for voting!
And if that wasn't ridiculous enough, there's all those requeriments for people submitting their wallpaper.
When I learned about the contest thought about doing one and submitting it, but with all those limitations? Not even an email to send your wallpaper? Forget it. Not even sure why they announce this contests in the first place.
It's not as ridiculous as accepting translations only on GitHub/GitLab imo.
