Aren’t the Olympics free?

Might be an issue with fonts?

Honestly, just use Debian. It can run under 200MB of RAM (default install), so it beats all distros on the list except for TinyCore and SliTaz, and it actually has packages.

I’ve seen many references to TCP/IP as meaning IP + everything-on-top, usually when talking about other networking technologies like UUnet, OSI, etc. Also as the TCP/IP stack, usually meaning the (Free)BSD networking code used in other systems.

I believe OP has made some mistakes when pasting the text

Apart from being open source what is Linux?

The codebase in git.kernel.org’s torvalds/linux.git

Could I not create my own operating system that is different to windows or Macos and call it Steve

Of course, in fact many people have done so: TempleOS, MINIX, SerenityOS, etc.

Not that I know of, but here are some between Lemmy and Mastodon:

• Upvotes in Lemmy don’t translate to favorites in Mastodon
• From the Mastodon side communities are normal accounts that boost published posts.
• From Mastodon Lemmy’s posts are top-level messages (i.e. not a response), and comments are responses to the original message.
• You can post to a Lemmy community from Mastodon by publishing a post and tagging the community (@community_name@server.tld)

What do you mean by «support»? In my Debian install I created an encrypted partition + LVM and I can hibernate without issue. I believe Ubuntu has an install option for encryption, so I think it should also work.

Very nice, although I guess most communities in an instance are moderated by users from that same instance.

Flatpaks for graphical apps and guix for CLI programs and libraries.

You can still subscribe to everything from Lemmy.world and your instance will remain up even when Lemmy.world is down.

I had no idea, just tried and you are right. Do you know if everything works the same, like moderation?

Your underlying model is not made out of words, but out of concepts. You can have multiple words that all map to the same concept, i.e. cosmos, universe, space. Or a single word that map to different concepts.
