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.

I think you intended to adress @Jozzo@lemmy.world. Sorry for the ping, btw.

FWIW, I think they're afraid I might hook you up to something bad: ask you to click/download unsafe stuff, etc. I think their concern is legit. But, as I said earlier, I'm just channeling you to known resources.

I think there's almost consensus on piracy being bad. I don't want to tarnish my otherwise fine-ish 'credibility'.

Even if that were the case, you wouldn't find many Lemmy users promote piracy from cool sources like GOG, Steam and other legit game devs like e.g. Team Cherry.

Furthermore, if anything, Lemmy is more privacy-oriented and anti-slop. And while the tankie-culture is present, I would not say it's anti-corp necessarily. And definitely not against supporting earnest (game) devs.
