The email that made history.

On this day, 35 years ago, a student in Finland sent a message that he was working on a new project that "won't be big and professional".

He was wrong! The project became both huge and professional.

This is how Linux came into existence.

It started as a hobby project, turned into a Master thesis, turned into the backbone of internet, cloud and AI.

Happy 35th🥂

@itsfoss I always think it's so funny that he wrote that it "won't be big and professional like gnu"! 🤣
