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 downloaded it earlier today and went for a 1hr walk and submitted over 60 contributions. It's kinda addictive.
I love that you don't need constant internet connection to use it.
Thanks for the recommendation!
I wish there was an iOS version of this
Streetcomplete is cool, feels like a geo-quiz and you have to answer 100% correct ;)
