   Linus Torvalds (torvalds@social.kernel.org)'s status on Wednesday, 15-Mar-2023 20:06:37 JST Linus Torvalds

   Random first trial post: today, March 14th, is the 29th anniversary of the Linux 1.0 announcement.

   Of course, there are other arguably more important dates in Linux history, but this is one of them.

     1994-03-14 was an important day for GNU, as it wouldn't have been what it is today without a readily available kernel with good hardware support.

     1989-09-27 was an important day for Linux, as there wouldn't have been a "won't be big or professional like GNU" without GNU.

     GNU/Linux history is GNU history.
     GNU/Linux history is Linux history.

     @SuperDicq @notclacke But that's not Linux history, that's GNU history.

     @gnusuario@qoto.org @notclacke@misskey.de Yes, without the GNU project the Linux project wouldn't be where it was today.

     @notclacke @SuperDicq Do you mean the Free Software Foundation was important even though Linux Foundation didn't exist at the time?

     @gnusuario@qoto.org @SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo As an analogy, the Boston Tea Party is considered a key event in US history, even though the US didn't exist at the time.

     @SuperDicq @torvalds Linux was not even out in 1983 when RMS wrote his open letter.

     @torvalds@social.kernel.org There are arguably more important dates in Linux history, such as September 27, 1983
