Happy birthday 🎊🎉 GNU/Linux.
Today GNU/Linux is 32 years old.
It was thankfully released to the public on August 25th, 1991 by Linus Torvalds when he was only 21 years old student.
What a lovely journey 🤍
won’t be big and professional like gnu
that didn’t age well
Sure it aged well. WAY WAY BIGGER than gnu.
It is NOT portable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that’s all I have :-(.
Famous last words
*protable
Imagine making a typo and it continually being shared and highlighted for over 30 years.
Kinda makes me glad I’ll never be famous for anything.
Linus was so nice back then…
His soul still intact
linus is still based as always though
he’s very open about his ideas and it’s great
Quoting from memory: “Remember the times when men were men and wrote their own device drivers?”
Just a hobby 😉
Won’t be big

Ah yes, the guy they named Linus Tech Tips after. 😇

That makes Linux a Leo. Someone who cares about that tell me what that means
It means low earth orbit. You’re welcome.
Isn’t the end date for Leo the 23rd? So shouldn’t it be Virgo instead?
I NEVER CLAIMED TO GOOD AT THIS LOL. perfect

Today, and forevermore, you will be the subject of many arguments on the internet.
Love to see this piece of history!

Well, Linux is 32 years old; GNU goes back to 1984, and Unix all the way back to 1970! The history of this OS is much older than Linus Torvalds’s involvement; he “only” created and maintains the most popular kernel.
But yes, happy birthday to Linux. Many thousands have contributed to making this operating system what it is today and they all have my utmost thanks for it.
It is a happy coincidence that the evening before the 1970s began, at 4pm Pacific, they decided to invent UNIX.
