In 1992 Linux had no networking. In 1998 corporations would never fund it. By 2022 it runs all top 500 supercomputers, most of the internet’s servers, and flies in the air on Mars. 2023 is his thirtieth year of Linux on the desktop, and the thirtieth year of being told it can’t be done. The critics never retract anything. They just move to the next objection.
