    LKML and patch: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=0fc810ae3ae110f9e2fcccce80fc8c8d62f97907

    He cites his work as being a variant of a patch submitted by another developer, Josh Poimboeuf. It’s a team effort folks :)

        Kind of like the butcher who got his hands dirty cutting a steak and then a Michelin star chef cooking it for you.

        One got his hands bloody. The other made it delectable for you to eat.

        Which is more important to the process?

            Like the Linux kernel, the cow is merely a means to an end in this example.

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.
