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.

Didn't know about that one. Why, there's no objection in adding more to the collection right here. 😊

I'm definitely here for more alternatives as well (and because I haven't yet figured out how to save a post without commenting)

Depends on the client. Configuration for it in Eternity is in the settings

I miss some parts of Kbin, but I'm very glad to have a perfectly functional save feature in Photon...

(And that the threads actually load.)

I can't find anything on that site that talks about how it works. That's disappointing.

"Fork Us" button goes right to the github repo.

Ah yes, that's exactly the kind of information they should have on their main site.
