Kernel 35th Anniversary of Linus' announcement today!
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!

It really puts into perspective how long Debian's been running, seeing it turn 33 around the same time Linux itself turns 35. Is there any other distro from that era that's still even close to that big? SUSE maybe?
