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.

De-arrow is a godsend for these thumbnails.
That being said, I set a "Don't recommend channel" on Brodie Robertson because he took part in harassing a developer about some barely nsfw furry art being hidden in some software but refuses to block Nazis from his mastodon profile. It seemed like a double standard that demonstrated tolerance for said Nazis.
@CatTrickery @perishthethought do you have any proof of what you assert ?
Whoa - Hey, I am not asserting anything here about the vlogger. I just don't like the image they used for the video. I don't know anything about this channel.
@perishthethought sorry for mentioning you too 🙇
I was answering to @CatTrickery regarding his message asserting that Brodie “harassed people but did not block nazis” (https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/6985902)
All good. Just making sure that's clear. Cheers,
