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.

MOD COMMENT: To clarify, !linux@lemmy.ml does not have restrictions on distro specific content. Although I personally would encourage users to post or crosspost in more specialised communities if for no other reason than to help those communities get more traffic, it’s by no means mandatory. In fact, I usually encourage people to cross post to more than one relevant community, we have a cross post button and automatic identification and clustering of crossposts for that reason.
Also: I’m not removing any comments for now. But I will remind everyone that being civil and respectful are official rules on this instance.
