Linux : la naissance d'un géant discret

"Just a hobby. It won't be big." That's what Linus Torvalds wrote on August 25, 1991, announcing to a handful of internet users that he was developing his own kernel. Thirty years later, this "little hobby" powers Android, internet servers, the 500 most powerful supercomputers in the world, the International Space Station—and the Steam Deck. This video retraces the birth of Linux: the frustration with Minix, the founding message of 1991, and how an open development model changed everything.
