I really wish that I was born early so I’ve could witness the early years of Linux. What was it like being there when a kernel was released that would power multiple OSes and, best of all, for free?
I want know about everything: software, hardware, games, early community, etc.
That doesn’t make the source code proprietary or non-open, it just means it isn’t a community driven project.
It is a community-driven project, but there is no structured way to join.
You can become a member of the community when Patrick Volkerding or one of the lead devs ask you.
I’ve been in contact with them for a while and ultimately decided against contributing.
They acted too much like old men when you step on their lawn, and I don’t see the point in this distro anymore, apart from it being a blast from the past.
Literally everything it does is done better by others now.
