23 years ago today Linux was officially born into the world. It's time to get your party hats out and play some Linux games.
Without Linux my own personal life would probably be very different, and I imagine this is the same for a great many people especially Linus. I wonder what he would be doing if Linux wasn't as big as it is now.
Now who said they were bringing cake? There's never enough cake around these parts...
How will you be celebrating?

Well, since you ask, I just installed a new Beta Driver which happened to finally fix the broken Cinnamon, so I at least hope to celebrate being finally able to play on my Linux desktop again :|
Well, happy birthday, Linux! :D

Broken Cinnamon? Using it, and sometimes it freezes, that's what you are talking about?

I find it weird that the hashtag #happybirthdaylinux doesn't give any results on facebook yet ...

For sure, the OS we know and love today has been made possible by many, many people over the years.
I still think that people like Linus and RMS deserve special recognition for their efforts though. If it weren't for Linus' kernel then we might have been left waiting for years before HURD was finished and FOSS probably wouldn't be anywhere near what it is today.

According to Wikipedia, linux was released 5th of October 1991... So i'm a little confused.

This is 100% spot on. I do think that RMS has the right to ask us to refer to our OS as GNU/Linux. People, of course, can call it what they like...and we're still waiting for HURD to be finished, and that gives us all a notion of the hundreds of man-and-woman-hours it has taken to get the Linux kernel to its current awesome (a word I do not use lightly) state. We shouldn't forget the similar amount of work that followed RMS's announcement of the GNU Project, and, let's never forget that the OS we know and love is 95% GNU Goodness. RMS also gave us the GNU License, which is the definitive document for FOSS, and some consider it his greatest accomplishment.
Richard M. Stallman and Linus Torvalds got two balls rolling, and the world is better off because of these two mens' existence.
