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 can't even get them to use mastodon or Lemmy, they're not gonna go to an alternative discord
and matrix doesnt have a functional voice call across clients atm
Discord is not as good and accessible as you may think. Most matrix homeservers aren't going to ask you for phone verification, some don't even require a mail. You can always join yourself and find other friends there.
