While Microsoft may be the biggest software company in the world, not every computer user is a fan of their products, or their way of doing business. While Microsoft's Windows became the most widely used operating system for personal computers in the world, many experts took issue with Microsoft's strict policies regarding licensing, ownership, distribution, and alteration of their software. The objections of many high-profile technology experts, most notably Richard Stallman, led to what has become known as "the Open Source Movement," which is centered on the belief that computer software should be free both in the economic and intellectual senses of the word. Eventually, one of Stallman's admirers, Linus Torvalds, created a new operating system called Linux, a freely distributed software which many programmers consider to be markedly superior to Windows. Revolution OS is a documentary that examines the genesis of the Open Source Movement, and explores and explains the technical and intellectual issues involved in a manner understandable to computer aficionados and non-techheads alike.
I found some subtitles, and will include more as time goes on. Right now there are 19 subtitles:
Arabic, Bulgarian, Simplified Chinese, Croatian, Czech, English, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Macedonian, Polish, Portuguese, Rumanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovenian, Spanish, Turkish
The Chinese subtitle isn't quite finished. It's up to someone who speaks Chinese to finish that translation, and correct errors if there are any. Right now that subtitle is bilingual (both Chinese and English), but I think it would be better if it was only Chinese. If anyone wants to help correct (or improve) the subtitles, then that's appreciated.
Here's a link for the subtitles:

This way everybody benefits, in the spirit of open source :)
Thank you!
This came out when Linux was only 10 years old. Now at 30 years old, Linux is the most installed OS in the world. It would make sense to make a documentary about it at this time.
Agreed. It's kind of sad no one has made a Linux documentary since then. It would be nice if such a documentary was made, showing off the current state of desktop Linux, so the public could understand that it's ready for prime-time. You need the media attention in order to get the attention of the public. Linux got a lot of media attention early on and probably wouldn't have gotten this big without that attention. Since most people aren't informed enough about the technological aspects of Linux, you need to change the perception of the public, or at least get their attention and let them know Linux is a thing. So much in this world is about perception, attention and belief rather than the objective reality of things.
If it was just about the technology, Linux would be the monopoly, not Microsoft Windows.

Watch this every year. Never gets old. I am so grateful for this whole movement.
One of the best "Fine, I'll do it myself" stories ever produced!
I like the fact that a documentary about free software is shared freely on the internet :)
Saw your comment in the other video. Just wanted to say thank you for this and the subtitles. Appreciated.
Happy to hear that you appreciate the subtitles :) Video quality is also as good as it'll ever get based on the DVD release. It's unlikely that documentaries like this will get re-released on BluRay, sadly. So we'll have to work with what we've got. Take care!
The upscale is pretty good so no complaints there. :) Take care too.
Same here good rip
I love this documentary! It's so inspiring, in terms of how the creation of one of the most powerful Operating Systems came about in an environment where all the forces were against such a thing happening.
I really wish there was a sequel, and there's *a lot* to cover in terms of how Linux has progressed these past few decades since. It has only become much more popular, at a global scale even, and yet the private tech world has also become a lot more hostile towards the very principles that have made GNU/Linux so successful in the first place.
This is my 7th time seeing this doctumentary.
I'll take short 2 months break and come back to watch it again, so it can be BRAND NEW again lol thanks. =)
I don't usually say this to guys but I love you.
I dont know how many times I've seen this doc
Same and I still love it!!
Great job with the upscaling of the resolution, now i can stream it on my 42" screen
this is the highest quality ive seen this uploaded, bless your soul OP
Thank you posting this! Been a Linux user since the late '90s. So cool to hear the backstory from more than just Torvalds and Stallman.
I just wanna point out that this documentary was filmed long before many of the currently standard distros were available. Most notably Ubuntu and its downstream derivatives.
Yep. Things have improved a lot since those days. However, what saddens me is that still to this day hardly anyone uses Linux on their desktop computer. I've been using it for so many years and have never felt like Linux wasn't good enough to do what I want it to do. It's going to take a long time for Linux to truly become mainstream on the desktop. Sadly, companies like Microsoft have poisoned the well through years and years of FUD about Linux, which has etched itself into people's minds. Also, a lot of people who don't know what they're talking about have said many false things about Linux.
It's very common for people to think they're good with computers because they know how to use Windows, but they do not in fact know anything about how a computer works or why it works, because Windows is so dumbed down and there's so many layers of abstraction between the user and the hardware. Those are the people who like to say bad things about Linux because they can't stand the fact that they really don't know anything about computers, and those pesky Linux users know more than them. Instead of taking it as an opportunity to learn, they want to tear down everyone who's smarter than they are because they have a zero-sum perspective on life.
The main misconception that still lingers is that Linux is hard to use. It's not. I don't think it's ever been hard to use since Ubuntu was first released. But people still have this idea in their heads so they're not going to even bother trying Linux. Also, it doesn't help that some of the Linux community is filled with arrogant elitist edgelords who will do anything in their power for Linux to stay niche and to stay unpopular so they can feel special and cool about being Linux users. I try not to be rude to new users but encourage them and give them helpful tips. I don't judge them. At least they're trying, which is more than you could say about most Windows users.
I live in Sweden. The fact that every instance of the Swedish government is completely reliant on Microsoft annoys me. I start thinking about how many millions of our tax money they spend every decade on Windows, antivirus and problem-solving relating to badly designed proprietary software in general. But, things are slowly getting better. If we could only get the gamers to start using Linux, things would quickly change. We can thank Valve for doing the heavy lifting with Proton and the Steam Deck / SteamOS.
@@adamn.4111 I just switched to Fedora last year on my new Framework Laptop, with the plan to get the gaming PC over next time I need to buy a new GPU. That is after running various Linuces on VMs and Raspberry Pis for the last decade. Currently on nVidia....
I live in Denmark, but I'm german.
awesome job upscaling. thank you
Stallman is such a brilliant dude. Love that guy
Thank you, I just rewatched this the other day and was disgusted by the quality and included black bars in my copy. This will be much better.
It seems the aspect ratio here is slightly off, but easily fixed without reencoding with "MP4Box -par 1=5002:5614".
No problem. The aspect ratio is weird, but this is the way it is on the DVD itself. It's a super wide image, and kind of unusual. When you remove the black bars, this is the result. I've not changed the resolution or done anything else to the video, besides removing the black bars and deinterlacing the interlaced parts.
@@adamn.4111 Yes it's a shame the aspect ratio is wrong here on RUclips, but I'm not sure who's fault is that. When you download the video (for example with 4KDownloader), you get a 1920x728 pixel video, without black borders. And when you play that at 2.35:1 (you can change the display aspect ratio (DAR) in VLC for example), it looks perfect. So that's 1710x728, or close to 2560x1080. Maybe the DAR of 2.35:1 was not (correctly) embedded in the video when it was uploaded, or maybe RUclips handles it incorrectly.
Shill Gates couldn't have been more wrong back than. And now with the latest release of Nvidia 555 drivers Linux just rocketed in popularity especially for the gamer.
Yep, despite all the anti-Wayland propaganda on the Internet, this is what's going to push Linux to the next level. It's all about performance. The move to explicit sync was the last missing piece. Now, all that's left to do is to keep refining the Wayland compositors, like Mutter, KWin and others.
WINE already has an experimental Wayland driver, and once that matures it'll enable Valve to shift the entire SteamOS / Proton stuff completely over to Wayland, without having to rely on Xwayland for games. Which will give a gaming performance boost.
@@adamn.4111 The switch to Wayland is a polarizing topic and neither side is right, calling criticism "anti-Wayland propaganda" or, like ddevault in 2021, comparing X11-users to antivaxxers is acting in bad faith.
I actually like the Wayland protocol, it's very simple, clear, it can be implemented by a single guy in a few days or so and, unlike X11, is thought-out well (except wl_shell, we don't talk about that one).
The thing is, people DO have issues with Wayland, it's just that many developers (and non-developers alike) in that ecosystem are in constant denial of the fact, treating a genuine report of malfunction or a missing feature as some sort of personal attack and then acting smug because it runs on their machine, or just saying "Nope" on issues (see wlroots#682 for instance).
Superb documentary!👌

Paraphrasing The MIT license is a weak license that doesn't know how to say "no" -Richard Stallman
Stallman unfortunately 😕 has cancer 😢
Why the lady yelling the letter bill gates wrote.
Yeah, she made it even more dramatic than it actually was.
I thought it was accurate af
Because bill evil 😂
Because Bill Gates hated the idea of free software, and his letter was very expressive of this fact.
I remember when Minix came out, I bought a copy. Now am running Linux Mint.
Linux Mint yikes. I use Arch 🕶️
Thanks for uploading this.
You're welcome.
I also uploaded this documentary:
ruclips.net/video/zPt_e9Cdk08/видео.html
Back when I made the upload there weren't any DVDrips available online, only low-quality TVrips. Also, the ability to select subtitles improves the watching experience. I had some help from other people who made subtitles for their languages and I'm thankful for that. There's still a few languages I wish I could add, like French. Maybe eventually someone will send a French sub.
@@adamn.4111 Oh my!! It indeed looks better! Thank you Adam! Very appreciated. I don't speak french sadly. The english subtitles is more than enough for most of the people.
@@Turissss
Yeah, most people will likely just use the English subs.
There's also 'Software Wars', which was released a couple of years ago:
mgnet.me/ersmeHA
Those are the main open source documentaries that I know about. There's also some lesser known ones like 'Code Rush' from 2000. That one is about the release of the Netscape source code, which eventually became Firefox. But all in all, there's not much available when it comes to big budget documentaries about Linux.
@@adamn.4111 Good information, thx. Once I finish this I'll take a look at the other. I think you passed the same like than the current one, but maybe u wanted to refer to the other one similar to this one that u have uploaded, that I've already seen, before this one. Very good too, but this one is superb. It's more well put together.
@@Turissss
My bad. I didn't realize you were commenting on the very video I linked. Well, at least I linked you 'The Code: Story of Linux' on my channel. Did you ever see that one before?
It's funny to see Tom Costello in his CNBC days... now he's the gray-haired NBC News "tech/aviation" guy... ;-)
very nice documentary, thanx
Just ad a silent g to linux i.e. lignux
Seeing all this history makes me miss my 56K dial-up modem and Prodigy... ;-P
The running joke way back when was that the NT in Windows stood for "Not There".... ;-P
I remember when there was no internet (pre-Al Gore), no World Wide Web, all mainframe, no PCs (IBM actually said that no one would ever need more than 64K of RAM, so, they just soldered the chips to the motherboard). God, I'm old... but Richard Stallman is older... ;-P
EMACS sucks... vi forever! ;-P
vi stands for Very Impotent
@@BungerOverheat People asked me, "Why vi?". I always said that vi was guaranteed at the time to be on any UNIX system that I sat in front of, Sun, HP-UX, or whatever it may be (I had a mixed environment to administer). When EMACS came out (yes, I'm that old), it became another computing "religious war", as shells and window environments did... ;-)
Thank you!
"These guy have to clap i pay them" what a horrible joke. 1:07:48
Yep, that joke was cringe and fell kinda flat. Nerds and geeks are good with computers but not as good with humans.
I found it funny, guess that's just me 🤷♂️
I think he was just making a joke that the only people who clapped for him when his name was announced were his employees.
That was a great joke, I was laughing for a few hours and had to continue watching the video later 😂
When this documentary was recorded??

thank you
what's with the format? it's like a chariot race in a Colosseum will burst at any second.
hey, augustin and crellin : drop the post fix, not becoming😉
opensource was not invented but coined
Ah, there it is: 30:37
Watching this on February 19th! Haha
1:05:38 - extremely poor analogy. The highway isn’t maintained for our common good because the roading engineers enjoy building roads in their spare time as a hobby, they do it because we pay them to via our taxes. Unless he is suggesting putting the government in control of software development? (an absolutely nightmarish thought, we would probably still be using text based green screens if this were the case )
I like how Richard Stallman still thinks that Linus effectively "stole" Linux from him and GNU, and keeps picking that scab at every opportunity... LOL
That's not what he's saying. He's basically saying that the GNU project developed much of the software that's required by Linux distributions to function as a complete OS, and yet gets zero credit for it. No one understands they're using GNU software and they call the whole package 'Linux', when in fact Linux is just the kernel and not the other parts.
Without the GNU core utilities, a Linux distribution would be effectively useless. Even the shell itself is developed by GNU, as Bash is the default shell of most distros.
However, I think Stallman's attempt to make people say GNU/Linux or GNU+Linux has been pretty futile, and perhaps wasn't the right strategy to get the spotlight on GNU.
@@adamn.4111 Hey, I'm an old BSD-based SunOS pre-Sparc csh OpenWindows UNIX guy. But whadda' I know? I was just surprised that someone developed a PC-based UNIX-like OS... I was living with Cygwin for my Windows command line... ;-)
@@adamn.4111 I think a lot of people like taking the path of least resistance, and saying just "Linux" rolls off the tongue better than GNU/Linux does.
Honestly, if we're to put everything it take to make a Linux install work (at least in a desktop environment), it would be GNU/Gnome/Linux or GNU/QT/KDE(Plasma?)/Linux. And that would make it sound really annoying, now would it not?
I found Richard Stallman to be too fervent in his activism, which was off-putting to many people, and, in my view, ultimately hurts his message.
He needs to get some of Steve Jobs' old marketing skills, who could sell crap to a pigeon... ;-)
Woz as the tech guy, and Jobs as the marketing guy, was the perfect team to start Apple (although I will never buy an Apple product).
BTW, BSD stood for Berkeley Software Distribution...

@@adamn.4111 LOL!!!
Reputation is also an asset you get hired for.
@@marculix But the money still has to come from somewhere.
@@jakobw135 Most companies that support OpenSource charge customers for services around software. That's where the money comes from.
sooooo much conceit, and these guys can't or won't see it, good story however😉🙃.... "i've been a software engineer", realy? how about saying: doing software engineering, because I'm sure this person is more than that😃
The misunderstanding of communism by these pioneers of open source is very telling.
I'm from Eastern Europe and communism sucks ass.
You sound like one of those Commie pinko hippies to me! ;-)
