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.

@fedora @centos @linux that seems to work - similar to how @guppegroups works in that on the Mastodon side posts tagging the community address appear to get boosted, with a difference that you can read it in a Reddit like interface (with good threading 🧵!) if you have a Lemmy account as well.
It also appears that the first post has to tag the community, so tagging on a reply does not work. Good enough though.
