Celebrating the Linux Kernel Day on August 25th!
Greetings, CloudBalkan enthusiasts!
Today, on August 25th, we’re stepping back to admire the might and magic of a true tech marvel – the Linux kernel. A tale worth recounting is that of its inception. In 1991, a young Linus Torvalds, merely a student at the University of Helsinki, embarked on what he deemed a “hobby”. Making a modest announcement on the Internet newsgroup “comp.os.minix,” Linus shared, “I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like GNU)…” Little did the world anticipate that this unassuming project would evolve to be a linchpin in the realm of computing.
Embracing the principles of open-source from its inception, Linux quickly captivated developers globally. It wasn’t just about the software, but the ethos of community and collaboration that it championed.
Fast forward to today, and Linux’s footprints are everywhere. Supercomputers, smartphones, data centers, and even everyday gadgets hum to the rhythm of this remarkable kernel. Its adaptability, resilience, and open-source nature have cemented its place in the annals of tech history.
Here at CloudBalkan, our relationship with Linux is profound. It is the lifeblood that courses through our solutions, empowering us to deliver unparalleled performance and reliability.

To the silent powerhouse driving our digital age, we salute you!
