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.

I wanted to buy the last issue as Memorabilia, but their site is quite confusing.

When you try to buy it, the May 2025 issue on MagazinesDirect (where they point you to) shows the issue from two months earlier, (Make Linux Mobile) as the May 2025 issue, which I find confusing. If I buy, which one would I get?

Would I get "25 Years of Linux" or "Make Linux Mobile"?

My guess is that the paper editions get published late with a delay.

Edit: The June edition (published 29th April) has now appeared, so I guess that around the end of June, or beginning of July, the last issue will appear.

It's a shame, because I tried to support them as long as I could, but I guess I out grew their content over time and stopped subscribing when I had a pile of unread magazines.

But thanks guys, it was a good mag

I bought an issue of this magazine one time and turns out I already knew basically everything in it. The internet is a much more powerful resource I guess.

I would complain, but to be honest, I've been reading every issue (digital) for free for years via my library.
