Linux Turns 23 Years Old Today

[Apopas]

Anyone that wants convenience and beauty that no Linux has ever managed to offer. Sadly the amount of polishing that goes into macs is tremendous

Beauty is tremendously subjective. I dislike the look of OSX and I find beauty on simplicity.

Back on topic: How fast the time passes. Long live the king

I'm simply not following what that has to do with Apple's success. Students at college aren't using their Apple laptops for high-end GPGPU compute work. Corporate managers aren't using their Apple laptops for graphics-intensive gaming. You didn't recommend an iMac to your parents for the audio mastering capabilities.

Students in college are using Macs for the hipster factor, not exactly a good example.

Happy birthday from my Gentoo driven main machine.
I still love to read this email announcement each year.
"Wont be as big and professional... " "not portable"
*sigh* These were the times when I was young. Did my first steps w. computers around 1988 and I was not aware of any sort of internet or even Linux. I am glad that Linus was wrong at that time and I am happy that Linux reached the world (and me). Happy birthday!
