Linux Kernel: Today 25 of August, just before 25 years, 1991, (was Sunday), the Linus Benedict Torvalds told Minix users, that he began developing a new free operating system as a hobby.
“Hello to everyone out there using Minix. I make a (free) operating system (as a hobby, it will not be big and professional, like GNU) for 386 (486) AT clone,” the announcement reads.
So it just started the operating system that supports all the infrastructures of today's digital world. The Linux Foundation published one report about Linux kernel development, along with an infographic you can see at the end of the article.
The 2016 report will show you how quickly Linux evolved, who are behind it, and what they do to improve the code every day, as well as development finance companies.
"Even after 25 years, Linux still serves as an example of how collaborative development can work and can be applied to other open source projects," said Jim Zemlin, Executive Director of the Linux Foundation. .
Έτσι 25 χρόνια αργότερα, αποδεικνύεται ότι το Linux έγινε πολύ μεγαλύτερο από το GNU και υπάρχει παντού γύρω μας. Με το Linux kernel λειτουργεί το Android το Ubuntu και κάθε διανομή Linux, και υπάρχει μέσα σε ένα smartphone ή πίσω από το το 99,9% των δικτυακών τόπων που έχετε πρόσβαση καθημερινά.
Even if you don't see it Linux is there because the entire internet is powered by Linux! They are used in airplanes, Wi-Fi routers, smartwatches, smart TVs, as well as every other smart device you have in your home.
Happy Birthday on Linux!
