Linux Marks 35 Years From Hobby Project to Global Infrastructure
Original: 35 Years of Linux How did a hobby project evolve into the open source engine of global infrastructure? The milestone rep
Linux is marking 35 years since Linus Torvalds launched it as a hobby project, and LF Research has released a milestone report tracing the kernel's evolution and its present-day impact. The open source system now underpins much of the world's servers, cloud platforms and devices, and commentators are reflecting on how a volunteer effort became the engine of global computing infrastructure.
Why now: The 35th anniversary milestone and the new LF Research report are prompting reflection on Linux's role in global infrastructure.
