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.

If anyone knows the mods of the Reddit version please drop them a line as I don't have access and I'd be happy to give them mod status.

It's very new and lacking content but hope it will grow. Spread the word.

Many thanks.

To be honest I've argued the exact same in many parts where people have suggested having individual communities which would split larger ones. Lounge hangers suggesting one per game. Or anime fans wanting one per anime.

So I kinda agree. Except this one time! 😜

Cos I like Awesome and wanted a chance to promote it to people.
Cos I'm full of optimism that Lemmy will explode in success such that we'll need an individual AwesomeWM community pretty soon.

So I'm maybe a tiny bit hypocritical. But I prefer the term "hopeful".

If you have any ideas, wanna help out, have any questions about Awesome, whatever! Reply or gimme a shout!

Have a great weekend!
