⚡️🎂🎉 NEW - Today in 1991, 21-year-old Linus Torvalds introduces Linux in an online post.
On August 25, 1991, Linus Torvalds announced on the Usenet newsgroup comp.os.minix that he was developing a free operating system. His exact words: "just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu."
35 years later, Linux is everywhere: servers, the cloud, supercomputers, smartphones, connected devices... and maybe even on your everyday computer. SD
A project that has left its mark on the history of computing and continues to evolve thanks to a vast community.
