Today GNU/Linux is 32 years old
Happy birthday 🎊🎉 GNU/Linux.
Today GNU/Linux is 32 years old.
It was thankfully released to the public on August 25th, 1991 by Linus Torvalds when he was only 21 years old student.
What a lovely journey 🤍

What are AT-harddisks? Google is not helpful.
Aka PATA or IDE hard disks. Basically consumer grade kit.
The statement that the kernel would only ever handle IDE was basically a confession that this would never be a product suitable for enterprise or professional use where SCSI was the typical interface.
To be fair, it's actually not suitable for professional use. That'd be an understatement, it's damn perfect for literally everything!
except running solidworks 🥲
Yet...
You had me in the first half, not gonna lie
