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.

this post is 2 years old so I’d assume there’d be at least a bit of little change.

wow thanks for pointing that out.

I think the lemmy "Hot" algorithm is still broken. If you scroll much it'll start showing old posts

yeah. the thing is I know that and I usually sort for new anyway.

however if not, 2h vs 2y is still a welcome pitfall.
