Linux is not that old. There's a reason why the "Actually it's GNU+Linux.." meme exists, because Linux is built using tools that were already around, he didn't start entirely from scratch.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
Jeg måtte lige slå op hvad poserne er lavet af, og tilsyneladende er det cellulose. I det mindste er et et renere produkt at nedbryde i naturen end cigaretfiltre, det har du helt ret i.
Og ja, en del der smider skodder har jo sikkert stadig en "nogen kommer jo og rydder op efter mig" mentalitet. Hvor jeg bor er det primært i de områder hvor der bliver festet og drukket i centrum at der bliver smidt mest skodder/nikotinposer/skrald, og det giver jo mening at det foregår om aftenen og natten hvor der ikke er så mange til at udpege svineriet.
