Linux turns 29: The biggest events in its history so far
A year by year summary of the most significant events in Linux's history to date.
After years of talk about the Linux desktop becoming important, it finally is. But thanks to Chromebooks and Android PCs, it's not the Linux desktop we expected.
For almost Linux's entire 20-plus year history, people have complained about the open source operating system not having enough games. That was then. This is now.
Today, thanks to Valve's SteamOS , a Debian-based Linux targeted primarily for games and entertainment, we have the first PC operating system that's designed to be both a gaming and workspace operating system.
While most users will only see Steam-based games, worker-bees can also use its GNOME interface for their jobs.
