Linux Kernel Surpasses 40 Million Lines
Quoting: Linux Kernel Surpasses 40 Million Lines —
The Linux kernel has once again reached a remarkable milestone, now surpassing 40 million lines of code – a tremendous amount of work driven by the dedication of countless developers who generously contribute their time and skills to developing the operating system.
For those who love numbers and statistics, this represents a substantial leap from the 20 million lines recorded in mid-2015, effectively doubling its size in less than a decade.
It’s also worth mentioning that the Linux kernel contains much more code than its UNIX counterparts, such as OpenBSD, NetBSD, and FreeBSD.
