Happy birthday 🎊🎉 GNU/Linux.

Today GNU/Linux is 32 years old.

It was thankfully released to the public on August 25th, 1991 by Linus Torvalds when he was only 21 years old student.

What a lovely journey 🤍

    Maybe it hurds in a good way.

    Nah, it’s a kernel it does kernel stuff and does not offer anything a normal user notices compared to other kernels.

    It might be interesting for people who work on kernels just to see different ways on how to solve common problems.

      afaik microkernels have a security advantage since kernel modules do not share the same address space as the main kernel or other modules
