Uh, Android is the alternative to Apple’s iOS. Android is much more customizable.
Which is kinda sad in its own way.
Think Different™ (But in the exact same way)
Think Different™ (Because we deprecated the service you liked and depended on because an internal team was jockeying for a higher position and rewrote what you loved but worse, so actually you are thinking different every year!)
Azure don’t give a shit what it runs. Windows is on its own these days; if they succeed, good for them, but honestly I think the days of Microsoft just pretending to give a shit about Linux are long gone; it’s an important OS to them too.
I’ve worked for Microsoft for 12 years, still have lots of friends there so I get some of the vibe from that.
Friends don’t let friends use windows man. :p
Putting Red hat in the same group as Google and Microsoft is wild.
That’s because Red hat recently started doing some Microsoft and Google like shit.
If you don’t like what they are doing with Linux, because it is free and open source, participate in people that are using it in ways that you do like that they do it, or do it yourself.
There is nothing stopping you
“Just a hobby, won’t be big” - he really didn’t think it will be one of the most sought after projects.
(just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu)
Aged like fine milk. Looking at you, GNU Hurd.

GNU, or as I’d like to call it, GNU+PTerry
GNU Hurd didn’t take a good path of development following MACH design. But I still think GNU Hurd is the kernel of the future. Probably the Next generation Hurd. Just because GNU MACH and Hurd present very convoluted designs.
A kernel that performs most of their activities in user space and that it is truly modular looks very promising for the kind of systems we have nowadays and in the future.
Someone has to make the change, or we will stagnate in cumbersome and up featured systems.

I for one really appreciate the effort of supporting non-AT drives despite the initial skepticism.
I’m glad someone was able to donate a non-AT drive because Linus could not afford it :-(
…probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks,as that’s all I have. :-(.
Cuteness.
As in hilarity.
That’s why he needed glasses.
There’s no guessing what will catch the world by storm. At a party once, Bram Cohen tried to get me interested in his ideas for a a peer-to-peer protocol, and I thought nothing of it.
My cousin’s buddies asked him to build the website for their new ride hailing app but he didn’t feel like doing some rinky dink thing, apparently Travis and them took it in stride though.
Yeah, I was looking at it today actually.
Happy Birthday, Linux.
Ehh, it’ll never take off.
And an OS was born.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

GNU is older than Linux? Neat.
This somehow makes me feel both old and young at the same time.

Truly humble beginnings.
Has he come up with a name yet ?
It’s a minix clone, so… mimix?
I actually like that name, but it might be too close to the original for trademark comfort.
Freax
Portable
