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.

What exactly is the advantage of codeberg over gitlab and github? People just say "miscellaneous privacy benefits"
Using free software to create free software is already a good reason.
But if you need more:
youtube-dl
, etc.)So, everything you mentioned are reasons I've heard for people to switch from GitHub to GitLab, which is why I explicitly mentioned them both in the question.
So far no one has given me any advantage specific to codeberg. (Keeping in mind that GitLab is already open source, self-hosted, and federated via ActivityPub).
GitLab isn't open source, and certainly isn't an open project first — they have a sales team, a marketing team, and a budget who does not account for getting new dev users
