Today, Linux celebrates its 35th anniversary and the remarkable journey of one of the most influential technologies in computing history. In 1991, a young Finnish developer named Linus Torvalds purchased his first PC, powered by an Intel 386 processor. After spending time learning x86 assembly language, Linus shared publicly that he was developing a free operating system as a hobby, marking the beginning of Linux. The history of Intel and Linux runs deep, and we've had the privilege of watching it grow from a humble passion project into the world's largest open-source OS. Together with the Linux community, we've helped drive innovation across everything from PCs and data centers to cloud, edge, and AI.

I received warm and heartening congratulations from President Trump @POTUS on the 35th Anniversary of the Restoration of Ukraine’s Independence: “Dear Mr. President: On behalf of the American people, I congratulate you and the citizens of Ukraine on your Independence Day. August 24 is a day to celebrate our enduring friendship built on 35 years of diplomatic relations, a bond that has only deepened since Ukraine gained its independence. With courageous, brave, and talented people, you have built a great country. As you commemorate this important occasion, know that the United States stands in admiration of your resilient spirit, honors your sacrifices, and remains confident in your future as a sovereign, prosperous nation. Let us seize this moment to end the conflict and build a durable, lasting peace that unleashes the tremendous potential of Ukraine for generations to come. Sincerely, Donald J. Trump” These words, much like the sound of a Patriot PAC-3 launch, lift our spirits and give hope that lives can be protected from Russia’s savage attacks and that a dignified peace can be achieved. Thank you, President Trump and all Americans, for your support and congratulations!
