To my
knowledge the Linux kernel was released to the public 30 years ago
around this time. My dear friend swears by it and will never go back to
Windows even though WIN 11 is much more secure than previous Windows
versions. Prior to Linux there were other much-earlier operating systems
for 8-bit and 16-bit machines we classic computer users could use. For
emulators now we have a choice but do they work better in Linux or
Windows? Murray ?
Assembly version August 25th 1991. - comp.os.minix newsgroup.
C version October 5th 1991 - Linux Bible 8th edition.
