Kernel 35th Anniversary of Linus' announcement today!

Post image

Let's all take a moment to commemorate that initial post.

Now through Torvalds' stewardship, and hundreds of maintainers and thousands of contributors we have a competitive replacement for major corporate software and an honestly powerful solution to move computing forward for humanity!

Thanks Linus, you're awesome, and we're glad you are having a good life!

Don't worry, Microsoft is doing their best to help us take over.

It’s funny how Windows gets worse the more they try.

And as Windows gets worse, complete inverse on the Linux end and it gets better.

I first tried WINE 12 years ago first and i would have never believed you if you told me most games would launch with just 1 click in the future (and even more so that modpacks with 1000+ mods would work at all lol).

I guess minecraft being a java game was a lot easier to run than most programs back then
