content: Linux was developed as a learning project to learn about 386 architecture. It uses a monolithic kernel, it is obsolete, and was obsolete back in 1992. Fanboys just like it because it's free. " It uses every conceivable feature of the 386 I could find, as it was also a project to teach me about the 386." https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~awb/linux.history.html " The history of software shows that availability wins out over technical quality every time.  That's Linux' major advantage. " -1992
