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.

turns out its a mastodon account. if you're on mastodon paste that address into your search
the fediverse is frustrating like that.
Oh sorry, I was hoping Lemmy would just bring up a profile page. Theoretically that should be possible and would actually be an awesome Fediverse feature, but reality is a bitch 😅
You can create a link to the Profile and mention them in the content, like this: @linmob@linuxmobile.social
That would've been awesome if Lemmy had done that automatically, for lazy folks like me 😅️
