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.

This is great news!
For those unaware, Google is continuously enacting policies that are closing down the open environment of Android, and I fear this will significantly harm projects like GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, and others.
If you can spare a couple dollars, please consider throwing some money at PostmarketOS or any other mobile Linux project you like.
are you aware of any articles/documentation that can make a noob aware of how these projects compare to each other?
i'm going to eos on a nothing phone in the near future, but that's only because i can find step-by-step documentation with exact hardware and eos version on how to do so thanks to Lemmy.

Just donated some money to them. Haven't even tested a build yet but I'm excited based on what I've seen over the years.
