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.

Same same. I don't really have anything to post about Alpine atm, but I'm always open to a conversation about it. Someone could of course create a new community, but the Linux community on here seems small enough right now that people can just post about Alpine here if they'd like.

Yes. As long as communities aren't that large yet I think it is pointless to split so much.

Just post here.
