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.

Lemmy is a reddit-like that redditors are migrating to because of reddit's recent decision to kill 3rd party like twitter did (and their piss poor management, also like twitter). as for why DEs don't tile windows, the world may never know.
@RoosterBoy yeah I was really annoyed about twitter’s policy and now Reddit?? Seems like the world is really coming for everything I know and love hahahahha..
