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.

So which one is actually official one? I can't describe what "official" mean here, maybe the one that actually came from reddit or the one with more subsscribers or one with more activity ?
Also Why there are multiple copies of same community in different instances? Isn't the whole point of lemmy is that it is federated?
when you can follow, subscribe to, post to, or comment on any community on any instance, there’s no fragmentation
when followers know there are plenty of options, it also prevents any single community from becoming too big or overbearing – and since the instances are all privately owned, the only thing you gain by growing your community bigger than everyone else is increased server load
I'm not talking about fragmentation on instances but on the communities.
If there are 5 Unixporn on different instances, I have to make 5 crossposts and the engagement I'm gonna get is fragmented.
If there is only one unixporn, only one post and I get more opinions of people in a collective manner and also more people will interact with each other, which lead to more refined solution.
But Whatever, It is what it is.
