True enough, but it gets complicated after that. The GPL logo which appears around 2:19 was made for version 3 of the license. But Linus disagreed with that version, and switched the license to Linux to be v2 only, so that it could not be released under GPL v3.

He was _perfectly_ happy using BK. [as was I, and thousands of other people] It was Andrew Tridgell that ruined it for everyone by continuing to dick around with cloning / reverse engineering bitkeeper (network protocol) even AFTER agreeing to stop. (I was never around Linus, but I'm told he was "pissed".) Kernel development slowed / stalled for a few months while Linus was forced to invent his own SCM. (no surprise git is very much like bitkeeper.) [There were lawyers involved. I was part of the evidence against him. Andrew was stomping on many a wiener. His "client" didn't act at all like a real "bk". When I set triggers to block his "client", he started mimicing the real "bk". The only way he'd know how is by using the real client -- a license violation -- or sniffing the traffic of someone else -- also illegal. Bitkeeper eventually took my trick to the extreme... "bkd" verifying the client's license.]

RE sucks bruh.

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.

@iyxan2340

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

Correction 0:49 - "Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie were creating the Unix operating system". Ken Thompson wrote the (original) operating system solo in 3 weeks ... in assembly. He thought he was going to be be fired for doing so, because Bell Labs was told not to work on operating systems anymore. A couple years later Dennis Ritchie invented C (built on top of Ken's own language, B), Ken then tried rewriting Unix in C a couple of times, providing feedback about the language to Dennis - He didn't like using the language until Dennis added structures. Because C and Unix were both invented at Bell Labs, and were (after a few years) closely entwined, lots of people seem to confuse who invented what, and sadly often leave out how significant Ken's contribution was.

4:02 That's hilariously genius

This is the most concise overview of Linux and its history I have seen. I first read about Linux at the end of an article in Infoworld back when it was still an oversized newsprint magazine. Must have been the spring of '92. I downloaded a root/boot pair of floppy images to write out and play with. Kernel v.0.97. The idea was that you load the 'boot' floppy and then just before you start the system you eject the 'boot' floppy and insert the 'root' floppy for your Linux filesystem. There wasn't much you could do with such a minimal system but it got my feet wet. I researched to learn as much as I could about the Soft Landing System which promised a user friendly entry into Linux, Yggdrasil had that cool name and a lot of people said they preferred it, but the only one I could actually figure out how to install was Slackware. Too many floppy disc sets to download over dialup so I only had a very basic system. Later I actually bought a copy of RedHat but got fed up with it before long, so I tried Debian, but it had it's own problems. It keeps wanting to autoupdate all the time. I might as well be using Windows. I tried several different distros as the trends changed but was never really satisfied. Eventually I came back to where I started and have been using Slackware ever since. It's the simplest, most plain-vanilla distribution, therefore the fastest and most secure. It's the most internally documented release and support is offered through the Slackware forum on LinuxQuestions.org. You say it was last updated in 2016. That was the 'stable' branch. We all run Slackware-current for the very latest software technology. Slackware-current is still more stable than most other distributions' "stable' releases. Oh, and it's the most Unix-like. I really appreciate that. It taught me everything I ever needed to know to work under the hood (through the Terminal) on my Mac which runs a version of FreeBSD.

Wow.. I learned A TON of stuff I had no clue about.. So happy I clicked this... being a geek has it's wonderful moments! Thank you!!

3:40 thanks for having suse in the list. However: Suse parted ways with Slackware in the 1990s, moved over to become their own thing from scratch and be rpm packaged. And _open_SUSE, the step of going from in house development to an open community started only 2004.

I've been waiting for this so eagerly since yesterday when you told us this would be coming!

Loving the spotlight on Linux!

Keep on posting Linux videos and i ll be heree all day long

Manjaro KDE is my current primary OS. Great video as always!

Not something many people in the Linux community are likely to admit to, but a lot of the different distros have come about because people thought their way was better and that that required a whole new distro. Little of it is about actual needs.

As a linux user I don't think any of us wouldn't admit to thinking their way is better 😂

Fireship: There are 2 Linux families that came out in the early 2000s that are focused on simplicity, performance, and minimalism *Ah yes, Gen Z distros*

I was waiting to hear something about Kali linux. Still enjoyed watching it. Thanks for making such unique content ❤️

How is this person able to explain this topic better than literally Everyone else!! Amazing! Awesome videos!

There is a great book that Linus Torvalds co-authored called "Just for Fun: a story of an accidental revolution" - that describes early days of Linux and how that later influenced Torvald's life. A super well written book that is not technical at all.

I've been into Linux and the free software community for many years now. Honestly, this was one of the best intros to "What the f*** is Linux?" that I've seen. Thanks Fireship.

So well explained! Great work!

Thanks for creating awesome content☆ your linux videos are my favorite

I really missed knoppix, which revolutionized the installation process by making it possible to run the entire thing from cd or dvd.

Awesome video, so clear and yet interesting. These videos need translation support tho!

I think I'm going to have to run an image of some of these distros. The one I'm most excited about trying is linux studio. I can't wait to learn more about linux, thanks for the quality content. I use Linux as a data person daily, but have only explored the standard ubuntu distro. It seems viable to make custom flavors to sell to a niche industry. I'm interested in learning more about how to make custom flavors of linux, or even design industry specific packages. However, I wonder if this would be against the general philosophy of Linus. He really seems like a legend in the open source mindset. Another part of me is thinking about that car analogy, and under that mindset the idea of an engine is what is open sourced. I personally wouldn't be morally conflicted thinking about building a car with that "open sourced" engine and selling it, so why should I be conflicted here? I guess the analogy between the linux kernel and a car engine breaks down here though. The car engine is made of a whole lot more mass than the physical linux kernel, so the engine took a much larger portion of resources to create. Thus, it isn't really open sourced since you have to source the materials from somewhere to make the engine. That is assuming you had a computer to begin with. I love this channel! You blow my mind with every video I've watched.

you can charge for free software, since it if free as in freedom, not price

@1:06 Best part of the video explaining the origin of it all in operating systems. And I am grateful to Stallman for GNU (and previously his fight against the corporation) and Torvalds for Linux because without them, we would be stuck in a nightmarish computer world controlled by Microsoft/Sun/IBM with 0 innovation for the people - well, if Apple would have had a better follow up of its Apple II we might have went through but the world wouldn't be as advanced computing-wise as it is today.

I think that in truth, the BSD's will keeping existing in anyway, and GNU is not the ideal, like it's very far from beeing 100% POSIX, Busybox and MUSL LibC is way better, but not the ideal too. POSIX should be a manual to write a UNIX-based OS.

I've only tried once to install it in VirtualBox... I've been stuck as to which key selects the needed packages (later found out it's the spacebar, I think). And as a newbie Linux user how the hell would I know what I need?! Most of those packages meant nothing to me back then... Haven't tried it ever since... but I'm looking for a good rolling release, so I might give a spin to one of the Arch-based distros, like Garuda.

So much left unsaid about linux's unique history. Loved your take on linux in less than 10 minutes though.

Linus deserves a Nobel prize.

I love your humor XD Best info vids and tutorials around!

i switched from win10 to Manjaro for my workstation half a year ago and yes there is a learning curve. however i don't think i would be able to switch back because most things on linux just make sense compared to win10

I love Linux so much. Thank you to all the people who have made it possible to flourish to where it is now, we owe you an unpayable debt.

Thank you, that was very helpful and educational.

I spotted a couple of small mistakes, but mostly very good & accurate. Thanks

Seriously! This is how history should be taught in schools! ✌️ Loved it!

I switched to Ubuntu 20.04 from Windows 10 just a few months back. Honestly, that was the best decision of my life. The experience is really amazing. And it is damn easy to do any kind of programming in Linux. A million thanks to Linus Torvalds and the entire open source community. And thanks for making this video. It was fun to watch.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

Note: Linux is under GPLv2, not GPLv3 (logo in video)

03:00 I refuse to believe that you couldn't find a higher resolution of the GNOME logo than that half-hearted excuse of a pixelated mess!! haha :D
