It has been 7 years since Valve revealed Proton, their compatibility layer to run Windows games on Linux systems. What an incredible time it has been.

    7 years feels like it’s too long, but then again 1999 was only 10 years ago too. lol

      Double check that math. 😜 It feels like only a few years ago, and it being a quarter century seems impossible.

              Not a boomer, but was in Uni in '99. The '99/00 new year was a wild time because everyone waited to see if something had its update missed that would cause mass chaos.

              In the end nothing of consequence happened.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
