The word "Linux" has entered into the English language meaning a complete Unix-like operating system based on the Linux kernel.

Hey everyone, you can now answer the survey on CryptPad https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/form/view/hDEWF90GBnHqFdC3vCa7JfeaN-1AeVxkb-rdJWqb2So/
Just moved from #GitHub to @codeberg@mastodon.technology. While it and, by extension, #Gitea clearly draws a lot of its inspiration from GitHub, I much prefer Codeberg's cleaner look. I feel even the documentation is much easier to understand for beginners as there is much less clutter. Keep up the great work, guys! ππ½
