Linux may not be the operating system that’s easiest to use for end users, but as a server OS, it ranks as the most widely used. All 500 of the world’s fastest supercomputers<\/a> use Linux. Linux is even more widely used on Microsoft’s Azure<\/a> cloud than Windows Server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linux has been available for 29 years and over that time gotten source code commits from over 20,000 contributors. In August 2020 the number of source code control commits crosses the one million mark, according to the 2020 Linux Kernel History Report.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This remarkable and sustained growth wouldn\u2019t be possible without the rapid evolution of the Linux kernel and dedication of the kernel community.”<\/p>\n
