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.

Posts in linux@lemmy.ml are on average about 4 or 5 hours apart. I think we can squeeze these kinds of posts in amidst the hustle and bustle in here.
Lemmy.world users seem to always be weirdly hostile about the dumbest shit I swear.
I wouldn't say it's instance-wide, but yes, Lemmy communities are becoming more and more hostile in general.
A lot of those that were toxic on reddit are coming and being toxic here as well. I also just think that its real easy to be shitty on the internet
