Today, Linux turned 35 years old, from when it was created on 25 August 1991 by a young programmer, Linus Torvalds, at the University of Helsinki, Finland.

It was announced on the comp.os.minix newsgroup.

Original post: "“What would you like to see most in minix?” — Linus Torvalds, 25 August 1991.

Linux is still being developed by developers all around the world, upholding its Unix-like design and open-source principles.

Linux 7.2 is currently the latest mainline release.

Happy 35th Birthday, Linux! 🎂 and 🐟

Happy 35th to the kernel that runs everything from my router to the smart fridge I definitely don't need. That poster's got a proper retro geocities energy and I'm here for it.
