The Code: Story of Linux documentary (Multilingual)

January 1, 1970.... the beginning of the epoch.... ;-)

As an old UNIX "weenie" from way back (1980s) on Sun Microsystems machines (Motorola 68000 chips), my thought when Linux came out was, "So? UNIX for PCs? It's about damned time.." Funny how Sun eventually made Solaris X86 free...

The documentary maker needed to identify their speakers at least when they first speak on camera. I only identified Richard Stallman of the Open Software Foundation at the beginning talking about a "recipe" because I already knew who he was.

This doc always inspires me ! :)

this BG music hurts my ears

Team Fortress 2 on Linux
Netflix on Linux
With Linux🐧

What is this annoying child voice over? Struggles to form a cohesive sentence...

I use Linux because it's easier to use than Windows, I have more freedom when I want to do "odd" things to my OS and I can have the workflow that I want, not one, that some thick headed manager or marketing person thinks I should want.

Currently I use Regolith desktop running on a customized Ubuntu 22.10 installation, I use zsh in kitty with tdrop, I use neovim with tons of plugins.

On the other hand I also use JetBrains Rider. 🙂

And that, my friends, is freedom.

Open Source is freedom. Thank you for everything you have given us Linus and Richard.

I'm also sort of having a mandella effect thing right now I had thought Linus was from Iceland not Finland

the crazy thing about Linux now a days Valve is making a gaming handheld that runs on Linux. Linux has dotnet and Microsoft has even made a Linux Distro Windows now has support for Linux through WSL. at the time of writing this comment Desktop market share for Linux is at 2.43% and Steam is making Linux a strong gaming option for people. think it was kind of rough for Linux in the early days because Microsoft was trying to make sure they're products won't work on Linux and Linux wasn't the most friendly system to use in the early days. now we have so many options for Linux. Linux can do virtualization of Windows really well with hardware being passed to the Windows VM. Linux can be a type 1 hypervisor. I think its great and Linux has proven that it can get better with time I think in the end Linux will take over for Microsoft as a development/Desktop platform its only a matter of time

Great documentary. I love linux, I dropped windows for real, except when in my job they require me to use it, but for my personal stuff I have been using PopOS (ubuntu based) and never looked back.

Thanks Linus lots for making such great thing into a reality. It definitely helped me in my student years greatly.

Anyone knows what kind of text editor Linus torvald use in this video?
I just get a clue "em".

Linus achieved a lot, but I cringe at most things he say in this documentary.
