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.

@jackpot @interdimensionalmeme Syncthing does not require a server and is much easier to set up from a user perspective.

@jackpot You add every device to every other device and they connect directly to each other. If direct connection isn't possible (1 out of 10 times) then a relay server is used. The relays are provided by the community for free (I am running one).

Why a screwdriver and not a driver drill?

Mostly vibes

Syncthing seems really good at filesync and backup

Owncloud vs nextcloud

Nextcloud seems just a tad too popular

They may only use it for files and stuff and don't need a full cloud office suite
