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.

ITT: people giving wrong answers to a post linked to a blog that answers the question 'What is PID 0?'

Nonsense, yes. Isn't that what low effort posts (like nothing else but a link) are made for?

You can call it low effort, but Lemmy is a "link aggregator". Even just sharing links has its value.
