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.

Too bad they use discord :(

Thank you. I'm out. I have no idea why open source software projects use discord and slack.

Well I use bazzite and it is great. Ublue is awesome even with their poor choice of comms

It is a gaming related community after all. There is less ethical and privacy concerns in that crowd from my experience. Not to say that it is bad as there is a community for everything.

You dont need to care about privacy to realize a platform like discord is not a good idea for any type of software project. Or any project.
