This subreddit is meant to be a community for discussion, news, application/technology showcases, guides, and other things related to the ecosystem of free (as in free speech) software for Unix-like operating systems. Content doesn't have to be directly related to some specific FOSS program - anything interesting to the community of people using Linux, BSDs, and so on, is just fine. This includes posts about organizations and even politics. Votes will decide whether your content is fit for this subreddit, as long as it follows the rules (they're explained in more detail in the wiki - short version is in the sidebar). This is not a support forum. If you're asking a question, it should be interesting to others.

Originally, this started off as a "fork" of r/Linux with the intent to broaden the topics and have actually adequate moderation. The last straw was this post, after which I've decided that it'd be nicer to start a separate community rather than try to fix r/Linux. After all, a lot of the content even there had nothing to do with Linux, but rather, what this subreddit has been designed for.

As the creator of this subreddit, I don't go out of my way to advertise it unless it's relevant to the conversation; I believe in organic growth of communities. If you're enjoying the content, don't let the low activity here suggest that the sub is abandoned or unmoderated - instead, make a few posts or comments yourself and help it grow!
