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.

It's a wonderful thing if you can get a hang of it. Though fair warning, it'll eat all your time for a fair while getting it set up 😂
That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
Also for some reason lemmy seems to rarely duplicate some comments. Now I'm seeing two of your same comment and two of my same reply.
If I had to guess that's gonna be a quirk of ActivityPub, and should self-resolve in a little bit, but I'm not an expert so don't take me at my word there. I have some experience self-hosting setting up my own homelab over the last 2-3 years - if you'd like some "getting started" conversation, feel free to send me a DM or contact me on Matrix @darohan:tchncs.de
Thank you Chad.
