From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

...Kernel patch at age 4. Sigh... What have I done with my life?
You done fucked up from the moment you turned 5. That's where you went wrong. You should have just stopped getting older
Dose mental age count?
The Internet didn't even exist when I was four, let alone Linux, so I don't feel so bad.
Well, you shoulda been working on ARPANET then, slacker!
Lucky bastard!
she's going to one of those mythical 20 yo with 15 years of experience 😉
You can start now!
I am no developer, but I've submitted my first patch a few months ago.
It simply added my laptop to a list of quirks, in order to make the microphone work.
