Popular community site became unmentionable – the irony is thick enough to compile

Note that DistroWatch is not the only one affected by ban on FOSS related article links on FB.

    They’re trying to kill counterculture. Pixelfed is also banned at meta’s servers.

      I have a suspicion that this isn’t even about culture or revenue anymore. It’s about control.

    I quit FB years ago because it’s such a garbage website. In the meantime IG has just gotten worse and worse and worse… Zuck would be king of enshittification if his websites weren’t shit from the start.

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.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
  • No hate speech, bigotry, etc
