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.

The title is borked in Lemmy. It's just a portion of the body text, including link tags which don't work on titles. I think there are some formatting guides out there if you want to continue trying to post to Lemmy via Mastodon.
Edit: there's a Mastodon to Lemmy guide at the bottom of this post
