When did you start using computers?
Looking back on my computer usage gives me a lot of peace of mind because I use GNU/Linux, Free and Open Source Software (FOSS).
In the 1990s, desktop PCs were slowly arriving in the departments. Most students and faculty members were using a mainframe computer connected through LAN across the laboratories at the departments.
Very few people were willing to try GNU/Linux.
Linux is an open-source UNIX-like kernel.
IBM could have kept the license of the software, which they didn't think would be a great source of business earnings! But DOS is the first business-earning project by a startup called Microsoft!
In 1991, Linus Torvald circulated in an email list his new UNIX-like kernel, and the community accepted it to test. The rest is history.
Linux is now a massive success in the entire computing arena.
The entire cyberspace is utilizing the gift of Linux and open-source software.
Microsoft's top-earning Azure Cloud business heavily depends on Linux.
