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.

There's no linuxporn / usabilityporn community?
The name is awful. I'd rather see the posts here if that's the name of the community
Yeah there is: https://lemmy.ml/c/unixporn
This. Mods, can we please ban posts like this here?
Ah yes, exactly what Lemmy needs at this point: fewer posts and fractured communities, that’ll certainly help make the platform better in its infancy.
Fewer low effort posts and more qualify always helps platforms
Ever heard of enshitification? The last thing we need is shitty memes and misinformation posts that harm users just for the sake of increased engagement
90% servers (of users there) is also not what we want, right?
What? Why?
Because we're here to read. Links to articles.
If you just want to post photos, do that shit on pixifed.
Don't lower the quality of Lemmy with low effort posts.
Right? I love seeing how people rice their DE. However, I would also love a community dedicated to it. We could post some tips or tricks to accomplish certain looks.
I love seeing that stuff too! I tried it a long time ago on Windows with Rainmeter. Got one looking like Persona theming and another with Calvin and Hobbes. May try to get back into it now that I'm on Linux.
