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.

That's just you. I visit this community for advice on refrigerators.

@anteaters @Anaralah_Belore223 I bet there are smart refrigerators out there that run Linux.

I don't see anything in the description of the community to suggest that it is not for Linux support.

If you're asking for CLI or shell help in particular, I'm a mod at !shell@programming.dev and !commandline@programming.dev and we'd welcome it there. But those aren't as big as this community.

Thanks for sharing these links, I've been getting into making shell scripts more and those look like a good spot to browse through for inspiration 🤙

Is it just me, or does this account really seem like a bot account based on post history?

[–] _calm_bomb_@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

one would hope so

[–] hitagi@ani.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seems to be right. I dont think there's a Linux Questions community yet.

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

!Linux4noobs@lemmy.world is a thing as well
