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 🤍

      We do in fact not have much control over non-free software especially when they have a monopoly and exclusive features.

      There is a(n) (unofficial) version of Linux that strips away all the non-free blobs. So we do have a completely free OS. Not to mention BSD.

      We get market share by being more free, not by making ruinous compromises.

      Tell that to Windows.

          I agree with the first part. By unofficial I meant not from the Linux maintainers.

          Yes, but in the end, Windows still has all that market share.
