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.

Oh friend-… I’m on the other side. 8 years on T 💪💉. But yes. We’re all queer.
I was told that linux doesn't work on the Spectrum oO
On Lemmy it exclusively works on the spectrum.
I was referring to the spectrum computer, which can't run Linux. It wasn't about people on the Spectrum, which are probably all of us, in some fashion?
