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.

For the future, it's probably best to post to Lemmy communities from a Lemmy, kbin, or Friendica account; otherwise you risk the formatting of your message getting badly messed up, as it has here. It's cool that you can post here from Mastodon but that doesn't make it a good idea.

It would also have helped if you included some description with your link.

You can actually write posts from a Mastodon account that look well on Lemmy. All you have to do is follow a few basic rules.

Your post must include a line break. Everything above the break will be converted into the title of the post, everything below into the body.
Don't put any hyperlinks into your title. That includes hashtags and @ mentions. See the original post for why
Keep your headline short. Lemmy has a character limit for the headline and if you exceed it your title might just end mid sentence
Put the @ mention of the community at the end of your post. It's nothing but a technical necessity, so treat it as such and hide it away at the bottom of your post

If you follow these rules you can write posts from Mastodon
