I cried....feeling proud...good code.. open source then I heard "Chrome".. WTF!!! But rhymes come first! Praise Suse

[kremata]

Tears come to my eyes each times when the kids are singing. This song is so, so good.

[Tobool]

[thepodian]

"my browser is Chrome"
I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.

Linus said that it was open
Linus said that it was GPL
All could use it for whatever they like
And it was okay
Community decided it was good code
People started rolling their own distros
Compiling in C with their Makefiles
'Cause it was good code
Remember back in 1991
He posted on a Minix Usenet group
Just a hobby won't be big at all
Started out with Bash and GCC
On AT discs is where it could be found
people loved it and it got passed around
A multi-threaded filesystem
Running on a 386

Well, Linus said that it was open
Linus said that it was GPL
All could use it for whatever they like
And it was okay
Community decided it was good code
People started rolling their own distros
Compiling in C with their Makefiles
'Cause it was good code

Now a mascot is the thing to do
Little penguin bit him at the zoo
Larry Ewing drew it up for view
Got the name for Tux from James Hughes
Richard Stallman founded GNU
Emacs and GCC too
Licensed under copyleft, it's true
Code is free as in speech for me & you

Well, Linus said that it was open
Linus said that it was GPL
All could use it for whatever they like
And it was okay
Community decided it was good code
People started rolling their own distros
Compiling in C with their Makefiles
'Cause it was good code

I know which shell is mine
My desk is Gnome
When I go surf the interwebs
My browser is Chrome
When my friends ask how it thrives
And how Linus keeps all of it flowin'
Benevolent Dictator For Life
It's why I'm okay
I said I'm okay
You know what Linus said?
You know what he told us?

Well, Linus said that it was open
Linus said that it was GPL
All could use it for whatever they like
And it was okay
Community decided it was good code
People started rolling their own distros
Compiling in C with their Makefiles
'Cause it was good code

Well, Linus said that it was open
Linus said that it was GPL
All could use it for whatever they like
And it was okay
Community decided it was good code
People started rolling their own distros
Compiling in C with their Makefile
'Cause it was good code

This songs production value is very high. Thanks for creating this cool song for open source community.

[vnhbiil]

Thanks so much Suse for preserving what RHEL can't. Also you have the coolest distro music videos.

[Redspl]

>My browser is chrome

fully open-source AF

[wilvin]

[miler]

>Gnome
>Chrome

NORMIE DETECTED,

[ItsDrike]

It's kind of incredible that Linus Trovalds made a whole OS and made if fully open and free. He didn't want no money from it or anything and that's why I admire him.

[s-null]

My browser is chrome

> ????

>> ABSOLUTELY PROPRIETARY

[rangerRick]

Crazy only 6k views. The production value on this is amazing :)

[TuxPingviini]

Thank you Finland. Finland is the only possible bastion for freedom even today as Linus has repeatedly said himself. His patriotism has sometimes been considered "over the top" in USA. But what the hell - he's just proud of his country.

[Mateus]

Nice touch at the end, all back vocals singing "Su su su... Su su suse..."

[giovanicandido]

It's a great lullaby song! It brings some kind of inner peace. I feel closer to my friends and willing to face another day. Keep up the good work! Awesome, guys!

[engitect]

I'm surprised if Stallman had nothing to say over it
LOL

[engitect]

OMG😍😍
I love you guys
Two videos in a day😍

[ceskeminiragby]

Great positive vibes marketing, keep on this direction as it's a breath of fresh air. Something I can share with my children
