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 have never knowingly used Arch. Am I allowed to like this song?

Also, Taylor Swift, is that you?

It is a good time to remark, That Lemmy makes it very difficultto post video files without a video track I had to create a bandcamp account, I'm surprised this internet heirloom still works It's going to break after 200 playback I think.....

So, I also created a github issue https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2529
