On 26 August 1991, Linus Torvalds announced hobby project that was supposed to better than Minix operating systems. He said I am doing a free operating system. Just a hobby and won’t be big or professional like GNU. Linux turns 28 years old, and we are going to celebrate Linux’s birthday by sharing comics in pop culture that made it even more popular.
It would have been nice if these were credited. Most of them are xkcd. I don’t know the others.
Edit: Ahh, they are linked to the source. Sorry bout that.
Great job. I had a great time reading these.
Keep up the good work!

Thats interesting.
Wonder if it has anything to do with the recent fallout kernel/debian had with him. I read the story quite a while ago and is fuzzy on details, but as I can remember he was not happy.
Maybe he sees that there is something brewing.
If it is indeed better, it will be a piece of cake to port the entire Linux userspace and applications on top of that.
I guess if idiots try to claim your goalposts, best is to shift the goalposts.
