Linux

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.

Just suggesting;

  • Codeberg instead of Github
  • VScodium instead of VScode
[–] posthexbearposting@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does codium support the same GitHub integrations as VS code? I'm quite enjoying GitHub copilot and Actions integrations, among others.

Yes you can get Copilot running, although last time I did it required a few extra steps. The guide I was using was on Github I believe. I would try to find it for you, but busy rn 🙃

I'd go with gitlab instead of codeberg if I had the choice. However the same kinda problem exists as social media with critical mass. The mass is with GitHub and until activitypub federation with gitlab becomes feasible you are cutting out contributors, reviewers, etc by not using GitHub.

GitLab's website is very slow and bloated, even more so that GitHub.

It’s not super difficult to host your own gitlab instance tbh.

It's hard when you don't have a server:

why codeberg instead of github

[–] tubbadu@lemmy.kde.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Codeberg is managed by a non profit organization, while github is owned by Microsoft
