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 feel like I've been gaslit into running FOSS but every success only brings me closer to fighting god

Speak for yourself, I first got on Lemmy to promote a movie, and the next thing I know, I was using Arch (BTW) and moderating an Android community.

I'm still not quite sure how that happened. This place.

Google EOL'd my beloved Asus C302 Chromebook, and now it runs Fedora with KDE. I'm super happy with it ❤️

Now tentatively working on turning my 2009 Mac Mini into a Fedora server/homelab.

So far it's running Fedora desktop/KDE, and I'm slowly trying to figure out how to get Docker to work so I can run stuff like Audiobookshelf. If I manage to get it working, I'll try going full Fedora Server instead of the desktop version.

If you like ubuntu and you want to remove amazon and junk that ubuntu has you can go to debian. But in the future, just familarize yourself with everything first

Nice wallpaper. I like space. Space is cool.
