Linux Couldn't Have Happened Without This Other Man

When you think of Linux you first think of Linus Torvalds and then maybe Richard Stallman for all the GNU stuff but don't forget about what came before Linux...

Seems YouTube has at least temporarily blocked newpipe from working.

>GNU's importance is lowered to merely be the "GNU tooling", which is only one part of GNU and then only later raised.
Hurd development started early 1991 once the licensing issues with Mach were resolved - so I don't see where he got "years" from.
>Mentions that there could have been all pure 100% GNU/Freedom if Linux didn't exist, but calls that "FOSS".
Nothing from MINIX was actually used in the kernel, Linux - I don't even think it even had an influence on its design - Linus happen to have used MINIX until he got sick of its design and decided to start writing his own OS, but only ever ended up writing the kernel.
>We haven't seen any major ME vulnerabilities
Aside from all the major ones intel has succeeded in covering up.

@Suiseiseki HURD development got started in 1986 but Stallman didn't want to base it off of BSD so that got scrapped to build off of Mach instead
