A picture of bowls of eggs, flour, sugar, water, butter an sugar wit the text:

Happy 34th Birthday, Linux!

Here’s your cake, go ahead and compile it yourself.

Edit: fixed the text in the image to “34th”

    Redhat was shipping production shit by then.

    Still they could not compete with Microsoft.

    At least not in the consumer market.

      Arguably they still can’t.

      But yeah, I’m less surprised that they already existed and more suprised that I had already heard about them.

        I ended up switching to fedora in the early 2000s. (Which was their downstream at the time.) then later I switched to Ubuntu.

        Redhat still has some share in the cloud side server market. And it’s derivatives.

        Nobody on lemmy is going to say they use Redhat.

          I still have a Redhat install CD from the early to mid 2000s somewhere in the attic. I think it came with a PC magazine.
