Linux Kernel is 22 years old
When I first installed linux, he was already 7 years old, and in the other world win98 had just appeared, since then for a couple of years, various distros have been the second system until debian finally settled (which also recently celebrated its anniversary) for more than 10 years, remains my only system.
Thank you Linus for what you did 22 years ago, did you then know on August 25, 1991, what will come of your venture? - Of course not, but as a result you changed, as the computer world as a whole and my world, it is a pity that I did not know about Linux before.
During these 22 years, the kernel has gone a long way from a system running only on i386 to a system running practically on all existing architectures, from 10 thousand lines of code to 16 million lines, from one developer to thousands of developers from all over the world, and perhaps exceeded its capabilities commercial systems.

Even though I’m not already patch-reassemble the kernel as before, I will continue to be your loyal user :)
