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.

This website consists only of ads, why bother sharing it?
Use ublock origin, it will change your life
Yes, this! uBlock Origin rocks.
On the desktop I am safe from most ads, but on mobile some pages are more pain than others.
I would suggest using Firefox on mobile, you can add the ublock extension there as well
I see zero ads on 9to5linux, why bother going online without an adblocker?
I wish Mlem would just open it in the DuckDuckGo browser, there some content can be seen, but it is very busy blocking it all.
But, it still stands, it is just too much, this page is just completely broken!
I see one sponsor link, no other ads.
