From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If a random reddit post is correct and he was 84 years old, I can only hope to have the same drive and mental ability at that age. RIP.
I still say the elderly is ripe for development. Not having an issue sitting or standing for long periods of time. Plus the constant problem solving.
There should be a way to get seniors to work with and foss keystone foss projects.
Not to mention after they start its the monthly group meeting...
