Today GNU/Linux is 32 years old

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 🤍

I read in "The Cathedral and The Bazaar" that Linux was not that revolutionary (it reused code and ideas from Mimix) but the collaboration of the entire talent pool from the Internet to develop the kernel is. Massively respect for Linus.
- @h_a_r_u_k_i @DeaDSouL I'm glad that he didn't try to make Linux a micro kernel. Moreover, he seems to choose a suitable license, i.e. GPL.
