"Distro" means "Distribution." It's so obvious to Linux users that defining the term seems unnecessary. But to an outsider, that simple definition helps a lot of understanding.

When it came to version control controversy Linus said "Fine I'll do it myself"

8:12 He was actually forced to create Git. What happened was that BitKeeper was made available as freeware to the Linux developer community, hedged around with a great deal of caveats. One of these was “no reverse engineering”. Torvalds felt for some reason he could agree to these terms on behalf of the entire Open Source community. So when Andrew Tridgell was commissioned (by the FSF, I think) to reverse-engineer BitKeeper’s formats and protocols, Torvalds ordered him to stop. To which he responded in the predictable way. So Larry McVoy gave notice of the termination of the BitKeeper licence. Torvalds went off to ruminate on things for a couple of weeks, and came back with the beginnings of Git. And the rest, as they say, is history.

And remember kids: "Free" is about "freedom", not price

Gotta love the subtitles sometimes. "led to a period known as the eunuchs wars"
@KristherLouisVidal
Linus created this as a hobby. While I can't even remember basic email pattern for regular expressions

This moment when you realize, that this legend create a second project worth millions, only for manage his first big project worth millions

Pls next : Story of git ! <3
@queenannsrevenge100
I love what Linus said about creating git; he used concurrent versions system (CVS) as an example what NOT to do, and when in doubt on a decision point, made the exact opposite decision from CVS. 😀

Next video idea: filesystems exFAT, EXT4, FAT32, NTFS, etc

Dennis Richie, Ken Thompson, Richard Stallman, Linus Torvalds Legends that created the heart(engine) of computer programming.

5:38 That “security” aspect was a bit of a joke in the early days, when Red Hat installers tended to load on everything by default. A client of mine got hacked through a vulnerability in the SunRPC service, which we weren’t even using.

"won't be a big professional thing" lol no
@sayanghosh6996
2:18 this would be the biggest blunder in this video according to me. Linux is released under GPL2 and not 3. When GPL3 was released torvalds clearly rejected upgrading to GPL3 because he doesn't agree with the license.
@drakegabrielvereto
Watching it from a GNU/Linux based OS, a big respect goes to you, bro
@TheAcidMotion
You should do more of these historical topics. I think people really dig it and I do so too. There are so many projects and great people behind them and amazing stories from the history of technology that deserve to be known.
@shaileshaanand
Thanks for making Linux videos

SteamOS is actually Arch these days. A couple years back Valve split to Arch, and that was before this video was made.
