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.

In an effort to promote the use of open and FOSS platforms rather than proprietary and locked down ones, as postmarketOS we created our own community on Lemmy (lemmy.ml)

!postmarketos@lemmy.ml , please join and help it make more awesome and bigger than the Reddit one :winking face:

I'm one of the core pmOS devs and although the other core devs aren't Lemmy users yet, I'll make sure to hang around, answer questions, moderate, etc.

For the people that don't know about postmarketOS yet:

postmarketOS is a real Linux distribution for phones. We are sick of not receiving updates shortly after buying new phones. Sick of the walled gardens deeply integrated into Android and iOS. That's why we are developing a sustainable, privacy and security focused free software mobile OS that is modeled after traditional Linux distributions. With privilege separation in mind. Let's keep our devices useful and safe until they physically break!

Have a look at our website and join us on Matrix!
