On August 25, 1991, the Linux kernel was given to the world as a FOSS gift by a young Linus Torvalds. He is the real hero who released the Linux kernel 35 years ago for all of us w/ GNU as userland tools, GCC C/C++ and more. The rest is history. Long live Linux! https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~awb/linux.history.html Happy birthday, Linux.

@nixCraft you should give Linux a copy of Windows 11 Pro for its birthday
@codinghorror @nixCraft no, because
a) we don't want Linux to turn into a supervillan
b) we want Linux to put us in a nice home when we're old.
@tezoatlipoca @nixCraft it wasn't a serious suggestion
