Linux is known for being relatively lean and not using too much disk space, but compared to its first version, it's positively bloated. The first Linux release used only 65kilobytes of disk space. Today, a compiled kernel uses 5 to 10 megabytes, which is about 153 times heavier than the original release.
Linux was initially created as a Minix clone. The creator of Minix, Andrew Tanenbaum said, a few years later, that Linux was obsolete, and that GNU Hurd would supplant it soon enough.
www.oreilly.com/openbook/open...
Linux has also been first to ever support the x86 64 bit architecture, and Linux was also the first to have USB 3.0 drivers added.
The Linux kernel was also initially released under a custom license created by Linus Torvalds, which imposed restrictions on commercial use of his project, and on redistributing it. Fortunately for all of use, this didn't last long, and with version 0.99 in 1992, the kernel moves to the GNU GPL.
web.archive.org/web/200708262...
The Linux kernel is also the biggest software project in the world, with the biggest number of contributors and companies involved in its development.
The first name Torvalds landed on was Freax, for Free Unix. But as things happened, hosting that Freax kernel was initially done by Ari Lemmke, a member of the staff for Helsinki's university, and this person created a directory called Linux, because that was Torvalds's working name.
In terms of mascot, and the name of that mascot is Tux, not because penguins wear tuxedos naturally, but because it stands for Torvalds Unix. Why a penguin, though? It's because Torvalds was bitten by a penguin.
But the linux kernel also has codenames. For example, version 3.14 was called "shuffling zombie juror", version 4.3 was "blurry fish butt", and version 6.0 is "hurr durr I'm a ninja sloth".
handwiki.org/wiki/List_of_Lin...
But also, the Linux name was almost lost to a trademark dispute. In 1995, someone named William R. Della Croce Junior, the most evil sounding name I ever heard, filed for a trademark on Linux. He then proceeded to send letters to various Linux distributors asking for 10% royalties, as the ultimate one person patent troll.
Steve Jobs offered Torvalds a job around the year 2000, with a sizeable salary, and a good position in the organization. The pitch was "work on Unix for the biggest user base". The only condition was that he abandoned Linux and stopped working on it altogether.
www.theverge.com/2012/3/22/28...
But Torvalds isn't just the creator of the Linux kernel. He also created Git.
Linux is basically running the film industry and Hollywood. The first movie to use Linux was Titanic in 1997, rendered using OpenSUSE, but it didn't stop there. Avatar's effects were rendered on Linux server farms. lord of the Rings? Linux. I Robot? Linux.
Linux also runs the space industry. And also, in the supercomputer world, Linux is the ONLY option. Out of the fastest 500 supercomputers, Linux runs 100% of them, or at least it did in early 2023.

Linux would've stayed a hobby project without its inclusion in GNU project. Its that inclusion which brought Linux out to the larger world. As a result, by early 2000s Linux became developed enough that when IBM (and others) were looking for MS Windows alternative in their struggle against Microsoft, they turned to Linux. Being picked up by IBM is the 2nd most important reason of why Linux didn't died as a hobby project. There $2B investment ~2001 will be ~$3.21B in 2023 USD. And that's what made it the industry powerhouse that its today. When we talk about things like "Accidental Revolutionary", "Hobby product" etc, we must remember the larger revolution of Free Software and the seismic shift in the tech world that was happening.

During the Christmas holiday break, and much beer, we did that. Put the MS splash screen in, and changed icons etc. At a corporate meeting six months later, everyone was bragging about how wrong he was about MS being junk, and expensive. He then spilt the beans, and showed them the productivity and expense reports. Don't know where he put the beer, in the accounts.

@arashkmahshidfar7780 Жыл бұрын

@Bread Dough pkexec, the GUI that asks for the user's password, is only used for operations that need elevated privileges, just like sudo. Have you ever paid attention to the amount of times windows asks you to run something as administrator? If you try to enter some system directories, it asks for permission. If you try to install an application, most of the time it asks for permission. If you pay so much attention to the fact that in the file manager, partitions don't have the letter assigned to them written next to them or the fact that windows out of all of the operations that require administrator permissions, doesn't need it for formatting a thumb drive, I would argue that you're paying less attention to what you should be doing as a corporate employee and more to your "Windows" UI.

I had an old computer with no hard drive at one point that I used as a router (before such cheap devices for home use existed). At the time we only had dialup internet, and it would automatically drop after a few minutes of no use. I had a second phone line for business us, so I programmed this linux box to monitor the connection and automatically redial/connect when the internet connection died. So my home computers were basically always connected (all be it with a slow dial connection and periodic brief outages while my linux router re-established its connection). It booted linux off a 1.54 MB floppy and ran "in core" without any problems. No GUI or desktop or XWindows ... just a console. But it did the job fantastically.

It was slow, buggy, and was chewing ram like nothing. Just starting application was slow. Then out of curiosity I started to poke around with Linux since I had an extra computer which has half the speed and resource of my main computer. I created the same program that I am running in windows and watch it run faster and take far less memory then windows. I was surprised and thought this could be due to I have a lot of things installed in Windows. After a few months I started to move more and more programs to Linux since those programs ran faster. Before I noticed all my work I did on Linux and I only used windows for games. Till today this is still true.

I use mostly a Mac and sometimes Windows for the MS Office apps and Windows for some solutions, like the KNX ETS5/6 and Gira Expert applications, that are Windows only. I started programming Excel macros in the days prior to VBA, so I am pretty vested in the environment. I do have a PowerEdge T430 w/16 disks in three hw arrays and 96GB ram running Proxmox, an RPI with PiHole and a Synology DS1819+, so I do use Linux daily in some form. However, many people, including myself, have reasons for using other desktop operating systems.

It's not bloat - is healthy blubber for swimming in the Southern Ocean 🐧 I'm pleased to learn that Tux is a kororā (Eudyptula minor) our native New Zealand penguin. It is something I always suspected for some reason. It shows the species has good taste , that one tried to eat Torvalds. The capital ,Wellington, has penguin crossing signs around the harbour. Last year a pair tried to take up residence in a CBD cafe. 10:10 Is it no coincidence that the CGI for Avatar and LOTR was done by Weta Digital , based on one of these very same coastal roads in Wellington? They probably used local penguins as software consultants

Thanks for reminding me how old I am. I remember downloading the first release of Linux the day it was available. It was a slackware release that you put on a bunch of floppy disks as was the way back then. It was a pain to configure, especially Xwindows, you had to know all kinds of info about your monitor geometry and your graphic card. Things have improved greatly since then. Have been using Linux since in one way or another. Now it's my daily driver.

Great vid, been using Linux on and off since mid nineties, with the full switch in 2009 as my daily driver, as I did know some of these facts, not all, but the thing that stood out to me was the far reach, as working fortune 500 company, we used almost 100% Linux for servers, but Hollywood, aerospace and super computers....awesome
