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.

this is just low quality content trying to grab a few clicks. it should be removed.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

with Anita in the thumbnail I'd be surprised if it gets double digit clicks

That website has always been like this. They occasionally publish articles and I sometimes visit them for curiosity but more often than not, many articles are sheer garbage.

Oh, it seems like they also started their own membership thing. Wow!

Imagine recommended reddit on "itsfoss".

[–] backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

IMO:

  • Arch Wiki
  • Gentoo Wiki
  • Your distro's wiki
  • Your DE/WM's wiki
  • Documentation, bug tracker, etc. of things that you use on a regular basis
  • Some people's who use similar things to you dotfiles

-1 for recommending r/Linux

+1 for recommending DistroWatch

'should have' -- but didn't? What happened then?

[–] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I had that moment too but I think this is actually intended as "should keep bookmarked".

[–] walthervonstolzing@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I'm sure that was the intention; but the wording is off, so I wanted to take a little jibe at it.

It's prefectly reasonable to say "I have that site bookmarked".

Then go to "I should have that site bookmarked".

"I'll check on that one site I should have bookmarked"

Etc.

regex101 also excellent

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

But I didn't bookmark them, so where do we go from here? The judgy tone isn't helping.

[–] squiblet@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

The intro is a little less proscriptive: “ Here's the list of my favorite Linux websites. Perhaps you'll like them too.”

[–] abuttandahalf@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Are you getting offended from a listicle title?

[–] KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Who even uses bookmarks anymore?
Just keep your tabs open.

[–] FQQD@feddit.de 9 points 1 year ago

People who like to have a fresh start when opening the browser

[–] beta_tester@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Wtf Bookmarks are the futute, old man.

https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk has some decent new and app update news here and there, and other generalized release news for various other distros aside from Ubuntu.

[–] neo@lemmy.comfysnug.space 2 points 1 year ago

at least they don't toot their own horn

[–] jw13@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I highly recommend LWN.net.
