Still, as this article tells us, the idea of a free MINUX for all was intriguing, and, when student Linus Torvald encounter the system at university, he began work on his own version that would later be released as a free operating system kernel call LINUX under the free GNU license. This new, groundbreaking technology, UNIX, was intended to be used commercially, however, and, in the 70’s, the 16-bit OS MINUX was developed in its likeness and released for academic. The time was the 1960’s, and AT&T/Bell Labs and GE were working on developing a time-sharing communications system through computers. But, in order to truly understand Discord for LINUX means, let’s first take a look at LINUX itself. That means not only will PC and MAC users have access to sleek and fast chat and voice client, but LINUX users will too, and gamers from once exclusive platforms will now be able to easily communicate while gaming online. Discord is now available for all computer operating systems, and that is a pretty big deal.
