In late August, Linux turned 25 years old, a major milestone for any piece of software. Operating system is not on the wane, reduced to running on a few university computers or enterprise databases, unlike most other platforms that have made the quartercentury mark. Despite the running joke among technologists about how any given year will surely be the year of the Linux desktop, Linux has found its way into everything from servers and datacenters to embedded systems just like smartwatches. While as indicated by this year’s edition of the Linux Kernel Development report, produced by the Linux Foundation, the operating system’s rate ofdevelopment is on the rise, driven in equal parts by individual developers and companies. So here is the question. Who’s actually working to keep Linux evolving?
Mostly there’re a handful of power contributors who have added a significant percentage of code, while thousands of developers have contributed something over the past a couple of years.
Among companies, the most active contributors have included Intel, Red Hat, Linaro, Samsung, SUSE, IBM, and various corporate consultants. That’s good news for anyone with Linux skills who’s looking for gainful employment. It’s an interesting fact that the operating system ain’t on the wane, reduced to running on a few university computers or enterprise databases, unlike most other platforms that have made the quartercentury mark. In late August, Linux turned 25 years old, a major milestone for any piece of software. Now regarding the aforementioned fact… Despite the running joke among technologists about how any given year will surely be the year of the Linux desktop, Linux has found its way into everything from servers and datacenters to embedded systems similar to smartwatches.

Usually, the announcement received an uproarious applause from the crowd. The Bash shell is coming to Windows. Now look. Microsoft is reaching out to Linux developers so that the company never has before. With all that said… By the way, the real Bash is coming to Windows, said Microsoft’s Kevin Gallo on stage at today’s Build 2016 keynote. Usually, vP Terry Myerson teased more coming soon in regards to other possibilities signaling a modernized and extremely open Windows 10.This blog post by Microsoft’s Scott Hanselman offers a deeper explanation of the move.
This is brilliant for developers that use a diverse set of tools like me, he said. It represents Microsoft’s refreshing stance on opensource development. Conforming to a brand new poll released today, are less willing to cede control of the steering wheel to a computer program, americans like the idea of selfdriving cars. By my god, sometimes the comparisons are difficult to avoid, It’s become aclichéto compare the latest tech innovation to that scene from ‘WallE’ with the tubby future humansflopping around in hoverchairs.
