Happy birthday 🎊🎉 GNU/Linux.
Today GNU/Linux is 32 years old.
It was thankfully released to the public on August 25th, 1991 by Linus Torvalds when he was only 21 years old student.
What a lovely journey 🤍

It’s a shame. Linus was and is far more deserving of respect for his contributions to technology than Bill Gates or Steve Jobs. Probably even Woz. But he’s by far down the line in terms of fame and fortune. Except maybe Woz.
I have a feeling he's more okay with having less fortune though. Just the impression I get about him.
I can't imagine he's struggling for money, he's a smart guy and wrote an OS used in some capacity by so many corporations
He's probably written books that sell quite well
"He oversees and has final say over every line of code [of Linux] to this day. The Linux Foundation pays Linus around $1.5 million per year to support the software."

He has an estimated net worth of $150 million.

They meant gain wealth like apple founders or any other big tech. Believe he derives a salary from Linux foundation for his work. I don't imagine that being anything comparable to owning large percentage of a tech company.
True but he's also going to make more than enough to live comfortably I'm sure
Don't need to be a billionaire to have a good comfortable life
Didn't mean he wasnt earning well. Just clarified what the original comment meant.
