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.

He's not even experienced, he's new! Why's he the one we picked to investigate?
I knew about codeberg but not forgejo
Codeberg is a public non-profit Forgejo instance hosted by the actual maintainers of the tool. They’re compromised with free software and provide their services with no pay walls other than a single limitaiton: only accepting open-source projects in their instance. That shouldn’t be a problem if you want to work on open-source, right?
Compromised?
This is the FOSS community, open up!
I think they meant comprised?
"Made up of" -> the non profit consists of software that must be free and open source..?
It's a typo. It should be "comprised".
Forgejo is developed by the people at Codeberg, they just rebranded their own Forgejo instance to Codeberg and added some extra around it (like Pages or the FAQ sections)
GitHub uses Git, and you don’t need any cool interface for Git, just a terminal. But we don’t like terminals, they’re ugly! Issues, pull requests, projects, wikis, actions… thanks to code management.
This guy doesn't git.
They’re compromised with free software
Lol
Noticed someone mentioning this (the product ) last weekend and did a next-next-finish install on some old hardware.
This is really nice, got me some nice actions running already.
I used to build locally and use git, cgit and Trac, but will probably move everything to forgejo.
Trac
That's a name I haven't heard in a looong time. I used to use a pre-1.0 version before GitHub became popular.
I’m confused on the use of GitHub in schools, can’t they just host their own git?
Hah hahaha hahahahaha
Our school systems are admined by teachers with only half a clue of what they are doing with only a few hours per week as a budget. This isn't meant as an offense, math teachers that like to fiddle with computers in their free time are just not qualified to run the infrastructure for schools
Source: am the son of such a teacher in Germany
wasn't sure if I was on linux or esperanto community for a minute there
Well at least they're going to usei something decent and not the Apache Allura crap.
