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.

He really seemed downbeat in his announcements regarding the birthday. He really puts a lot of work into the site but having a niche audience of tech literate users is probably the worst place to be with ad sales tanking as they do. If anybody is using adblockers, it's us and people are cheap.

I really hope the guy has a nice birthday and gets lots of love and donations. The phoronix content is always great and I've been a long time reader. (I've donated the same amount as OP - see my screenshot)
