Always wanted to join the huddle 🐧 and be a part of something bigger, but have always been priced out.
Seeing how hard @LucaNetz works it was clear I needed I needed to pull the trigger and join the best community in web 3 @pudgypenguins.
Do pudgies still follow pudgies? ⬇️

You can’t buy Linux. It’s free. Always has been. So IBM did the next best thing: it spent $34 billion buying Red Hat, a company whose entire business is selling tech support for this free software. Largest software acquisition in history. For support contracts on something anyone can download for $0.
The “side project” story, while true, is maybe 5% of what actually happened since.
Linux itself is managed by a nonprofit, the Linux Foundation. That nonprofit pulled in $311 million last year. Only $8.4 million of that (2.6%) actually went to Linux itself. The rest of the funds support ~1,500 other open source projects, events, and training. Every Fortune 100 tech company is a paying member.
And here’s who actually builds this “free” software now: 84% of the code changes to Linux in 2025 come from developers on corporate payroll. Intel is the biggest contributor. Google is second. Huawei, Oracle, AMD, and Meta all have engineers writing Linux code full-time. Over 1,780 companies pay people to work on it. The solo genius in a dorm room stopped being the real story around 1998.
The wildest part: over 65% of Microsoft’s cloud computers run Linux. Microsoft, the company whose former CEO once called Linux “a cancer,” now runs more Linux than Windows on its own servers. Amazon and Google’s clouds are even higher, both above 90%.
A 2024 Harvard Business School study attempted to calculate how much companies would spend if all free, open-source software vanished tomorrow. The answer: $8.8 trillion more per year. 3.5x what they currently spend. And that number didn’t even include operating systems like Linux.
Linus Torvalds still personally approves every major code change. He makes about $1.5 million a year. He also built Git, the tool that powers GitHub (which Microsoft bought for $7.5 billion). Two pieces of software the entire tech industry runs on, same guy.
Linux started as 10,239 lines of code. It’s now over 40 million. Every one of the world’s 500 fastest supercomputers runs it. 96% of the top million websites sit on it. Every Android phone has Linux inside it. That’s roughly 3 billion devices in people’s pockets.
It’s the largest collaborative engineering project in human history, free to use, funded by the same corporations it was supposed to replace.
Sahil@sahill_og
Linus Torvalds created Linux at 21 without Claude or any other AI. - He didn't have a co-founder. - No VC funding. No office. - No team. - Just a personal project he posted to a mailing list: "I'm doing a free OS." 33 years later, it runs 97% of the world's servers, all smartphones, and the International Space Station. The most important software in history started as someone's side project. Absolute legend.

For over a year now, I've been wanting to start a podcast.
Many people were asking me to start it.
But I had no idea how.
Three months ago, I reconnected with friends from @852Web3, a local Hong Kong web3 media group.
We started a partnership to bring the podcast to life.
Since then we
- Filmed and released over 10+ podcast.
- Did 7 live interviews during Bitcoin Asia.
- Interviewed some of the top builders in web3.
- Spent long nights editing, brainstorming, and filming.
Can’t believe how much we’ve accomplished in three months!
This Friday, I start a new chapter in my podcast journey and I can’t wait to show you guys what’s next.
Thank you everyone for the support.
The best is yet to come. 🐧❤️
