https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShcR4Zfc6Dw
The video offers an overview of the history and development of Linux distributions (distros), covering the creation of Linux by Linus Torvalds in 1991, the establishment of Debian in 1993, and the release of Ubuntu in 2004. It also mentions other popular distros such as Red Hat, Fedora, Arch, and Manjaro, and explains why there are so many independent distros, with some designed for specific purposes like gaming or beginner-friendliness. The video highlights the freedom to create and innovate within the open source ecosystem as the main motivator behind the numerous distros, comparing it to building a car using a free engine. Finally, the video touches on the controversy surrounding the use of proprietary software like Bitkeeper before Linus Torvalds created Git. Overall, the video provides a comprehensive overview of Linux distros' history and evolution, emphasizing their diversity and the freedom they offer to users and developers.
