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.
Rules
- Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.

So subreddit=subs as communities=comms? I'm not typing communities all the time lmao.
yeah, over on hexbear comms is the usual parlance anyway. the wider lemmy population with the new reddit people might change that though
If the official name is magazines, then why not use "mags"?
I think just kbin refers to them as magazines, and (currently at least) Lemmy seems to be the more popular platform, calling them communities.
Neither is great tbh

I saw someone below mention that hexbear calls them comms with 2 m's. That sounds like the best nickname.
My brain will never not read that as "communications," I'm gonna think everyone here is real serious about HAM radio lol.
