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 🤍

    Speaking as someone that doesn’t understand computers very well: is Hurd usable as a kernel nowadays?

        What is actually the point of using hurd other than being able to say you use Hurd though?

          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.
