Linux

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 think it would be great to have a archive so that the various documentation, comments and hacks / workarounds could be searched.

The reason I ask is because they block VPN traffic, restrict some content behind a login wall and I have blacklisted them from my DNS so I plan on never returning.

But I find myself lacking odd tips from the Sway community and other communities.

There is lemmit.online which does this purely.

It is pretty busy but may already do some of it. You could request a nieche and very useful community like the sway one. Or use your own server to fetch these results and post to the open Web.

Unfortunately they don't take requests for new subreddits anymore. In addition, they don't mirror comments so in terms of answers to questions it's probably not that helpful.

True. But that may be due to how the bot works?
