Whether you know this or not, but Linux is everywhere. We use Linux everyday.
- Over 850,000 android phones running Linux activate every single day,compare that to just 30,000 windows phone
- Nearly 700,000 T.V. sold everyday, most of them are Linux-based
- 8 out of 10 financial trades are powered by Linux
- 9 out of 10 world’s super computer run Linux
- Google, Twitter, Facebook and Amazon are all powered by Linux
So, how is Linux developed to achieve all of this???
Linux is built collaboratively across companies, geographies , and markets. Result in the LARGEST collaborative development project in the history of computing. Since 2005, about 8,000 developers from almost 800 companies contributed to the Linux kernel. This contribution results in 15 million lines of code. 1.5 million lines of code written in the last couple of years.
It’s not only about the how many lines are there in code. It’s not just about the sheer number of lines and code. It’s also about how quickly Linux is developed and released. For eg, a major new kernel comes out every 2-3 months. Compare this to years for competing operating systems.
