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 try to contribute as much info as I can to Open Street Map on my walks.
Same I’m mapping out my community and adding missing locations
I've been loving it. Weirdly scratches the same itch Pokémon Go did for a while, plus it's something actually useful.
Now you've got the idea of making a game around filling out open street map info. I'll add it too the list of "cool programs I don't have nearly enough time to make" 😔
oh boy do i have news for you
Is there an app that makes this easier to do? I want to contribute but I don't see a setting or option in osmand
Have you heard of StreetComplete on Android?
Nope I haven't! Thanks for the link!
StreetComplete is the one I use, although there's a handful. It's on both the play store and Fdroid
Awesome, thank you!
[email protected] has couple of post about apps
I use street complete, every door, and vespucci depending on what I want to map
Ah ok, thanks!
