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.

On Thunder I have no excerpt and I find really annoying all those who post link without comments. They are just doing clickbait like any news aggregator. If I want that there is already google news for instance...
So I value those who add a comment to their post and say why they post it and find it interesting. Isn't Lemmy all about sharing thought, so does poster except other to do it for him and just want to have popular posts?
i wish i understood why people use those apps to browse lemmy. i used to think that they were pointless, but watching them drive up the userbase numbers up for .world and .ee made it seem like i must be missing something so i tried all of the ones i could find and the experience was the same for me as it is with a browser.
