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.

Why isn't syncthing there? Is there something bad with it I'm not aware of amor are they just not aware of it?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

I think because Syncthing isn't really for "sharing" files. It can move large files across the internet but it's not designed for "hey send me a copy of that blu-ray your ripped" sharing.
