Linuxwereld

Linuxwereld is a Dutch-language online publication and community portal focused on Linux and free/open-source software. It serves users in the Netherlands and the Flemish-speaking parts of Belgium, providing news, tutorials, reviews, and discussion. The site aims to be a practical resource for both newcomers and experienced Linux users.

Content and services include news summaries about distributions, releases, and security advisories; how-to guides and setup tutorials; reviews of distributions and software; a wiki with how-tos; forums and user groups; and event listings. It also hosts mirrors and download resources for select projects and projects related to the Linux ecosystem.

The project is run as a community-driven, volunteer-based initiative. It typically operates with an editorial board and volunteer moderators who coordinate contributions from readers and developers. Content is guided by a commitment to accuracy, licensing compliance, and accessibility for a broad audience.

Impact and scope include widespread use as a reference point for Dutch-speaking Linux users and administrators. Linuxwereld supports localization efforts, translation of content, and collaboration between users, developers, and distributions. It is part of a broader regional ecosystem of open-source media and community activity, including user groups and local conferences.

Accessibility and governance emphasize open licensing for content, a code of conduct, and privacy-conscious practices. The platform encourages contributions in Dutch and aims to remain a welcoming, non-commercial space that complements other open-source outlets in the region.
