Today GNU/Linux is 32 years old. It was thankfully released to the public on August 25th, 1991 by Linus Torvalds when he was only 21 years old student. What a lovely journey 🤍

The fact that Android is Linux is significant because it does in fact allow you to run so-called "Linux apps" (either under Termux or under a dedicated chroot set up by something like UserLAnd) and that is something to be lauded. Android has problems but not being "real Linux" is not among them. permalink fedilink source parent
