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've spent the last year learning Linux and coding, I had used windows for years and only used Ubuntu 12 for very short stints, and as for coding i was clueless, now ive a basic understanding but im getting there. Anyway thank you to all the maintainers, devs and community
jesus christ we just had a huge struggle session about this.
Well we did but this is lemmy.ml, figured I would comment on it anyway because yeah it's super fuckin racist lol.
i thought it wasnt a hexbear thread? maybe it wasnt a lemmy.ml thread but they should know better.
And why should I know of an obscur car culture slur?
It's ok to not know about it, but when you are made aware about it you are then presented with a choice.
It's up to you if you want to carry on using the term despite knowing about it's roots.
Yo why is everyone mad about me calling drooling on the joint N-word lipping it? I didn't know it was a slur I'm just trying to reclaim it.
