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.

I used to be a member of several Signal groups: Gaming on Linux, Free Software, the Lounge… but recently I lost access to the device I used for Signal. Several members there are dbzer0 users, and I'm hoping I can get another invite.

Although feeling the same as the other commenters, I gave it benefit of doubt. Using it for 2 groups, Openstreetmap and CoMaps. It works more or less.
