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.

i wish i understood why people use those apps to browse lemmy. i used to think that they were pointless, but watching them drive up the userbase numbers up for .world and .ee made it seem like i must be missing something so i tried all of the ones i could find and the experience was the same for me as it is with a browser.
