Probably the First Major GNU/Linux Distro to Adopt Gemini and Have an Official Gemini Capsule

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 07, 2024

That's Salix, which is now on Gemini: (gemini://salixos.org)

Gemini is relatively new, created only a few years ago. It's part of what's often referred to as 'the small internet'. This term describes a collection of alternative, decentralized, and community-driven networks that operate outside of the mainstream internet.

Welcome to Gemini, Salix! Earning much respect among the 'Geminists' or 'the small Internet'.
