"I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu)..."
On August 25, 1991, a 21-year-old student sent a message to a Usenet newsgroup. He thought he was just building something fun for himself.
35 years later, that "hobby" is the backbone of global technology:
- 🚀 Powering helicopters in space with NASA.
- ☁️ Running the global cloud and 100% of the world’s supercomputers.
- 📱 Connecting billions of people.
- 🎮 Redefining the future of handheld gaming.
What started as one student's side project became the greatest collaborative technology movement in history. Thank you to every maintainer, contributor, and advocate who made it possible.
Happy 35th Birthday, Linux. Here’s to the power of open source and the next 35 years of building together.

“我正在开发一个(免费的)操作系统(只是个爱好,不会像 GNU 那样庞大和专业)……”
1991 年 8 月 25 日,一位 21 岁的学生向 Usenet 新闻组发送了一条消息。他以为自己只是在为自己打造一些有趣的东西。
35 年后,那个“爱好”已成为全球科技的支柱:
- 🚀 为 NASA 的太空直升机提供动力。
- ☁️ 运行全球云计算以及世界上 100% 的超级计算机。
- 📱 连接数十亿人。
- 🎮 重新定义掌上游戏的未来。
一个学生的副业项目起步,演变为历史上最伟大的协作技术运动。感谢每一位维护者、贡献者和倡导者,让这一切成为可能。
Linux 35 岁生日快乐。致敬开源的力量,以及未来 35 年共同构建的岁月。
