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.

My favorite is SourceHut because it just works without taking forever to load. I also like the clear separation between projects, repositories, issue trackers, mailing lists and other components. And the fact that it doesn't have pull requests, so there isn't a billion unmaintained forks everywhere.
So you like using mailing lists? I've never done that due to coming from game dev and we have large binaries, but I've always been curious. Isn't it hard to keep things organized?
I don't maintain any popular projects so I don't have personal experience, but many projects on SourceHut are developed using mailing lists (and outside SourceHut too, notably Linux) and they seem to be organized just fine.
foss?
Of course.
