I say you've won an operating system once you've contributed code that got into its kernel
So the final boss il Linus Torvalds, got it!
Kernel, compiler and WebKit back in the day, taking the hat trick.
The fear your code will break something one day and Linus will hunt you down will forever your thoughts.
Game over.
