Portal talk:Linux

The article "Linux"
I do not like the article Linux in its current version, especially the introduction. As already suggested here: Talk:POSIX, I would like to rephrase this to:

The terms "Linux" and "GNU/Linux" describe/refer to the family of Linux kernel-based operating systems – and not any one operating system. Their base components, i.e. the Linux kernel (more precisely its System Call Interface (SCI)), the GNU C Library or the uClibc, the GNU Core Utilities and a couple of more packages, make many Linux operating systems behave "unix-like" though none of the Linux distributions has bothered so far to actually become UNIX®-certified, mostly because of financial reasons.

Category:Linux-only software
Please feel free to take care of Category:Linux-only software. User:ScotXW t@lk 17:02, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

XScreenSaver
The collections XScreenSaver has been described as arousing a WOW effect by people, who were new to Linux. Looking at commons:Category:XScreenSaver, I get not WOW effect. User:ScotXW t@lk

Notice from the Portals WikiProject
WikiProject Portals is back!

The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.

As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.

There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.

Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.

And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.

From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely,    &mdash; The Transhumanist   07:36, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
