On this day 34 years ago, an unknown computer science student from Finland announced that a new free operating system project was “starting to get ready.” Linus Benedict Torvalds elaborated by explaining that the OS was “just a hobby, [it] won’t be big and professional like GNU.” Of course, this was the first public outing for the colossal collaborative project that is now known as Linux.

Happy 34th birthday Linux! from r/linux
