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.

It's hopefully common knowledge, but just in case, Codeberg is running Forgejo. You can host a compatible instance yourself! It's not that painful.
I know, but the main use i have for github is collaboration, and I don't want to expose a forgejo instance I'm hosting myself.
just installed forgejo on a locally hosted lxc instance on a spare qemu VM. will use primarily for my own projects and external devs who collaborate on client projects.
doing my part to give an nvidia sized/shaped "torvalds" to ms.
edit: love it. glad I finally pulled the trigger on this.
