Linus Torvalds. Famous for creating Linux, A UNIX like operating system. I like Linus because of the fact he doesnt consider himself a "entreprenuer" (I hope i spelt that right!) He considers himself a engineer.
“I am not a visionary. I'm an engineer. I'm happy with the people who are wandering around looking at the stars but I am looking at the ground and I want to fix the pothole before I fall in.” ― Linus Torvalds
I Really went down the Rabbit-Hole with this one so it would be awesome if you could consider donating! Thanks!
Originally "Linux" was going to be called FREAX, Beacause only a freak would use it. It was a hobby made by Linus Torvalds, The name came about when the server admin responsible for uploading the source code changed the name without Linus's approval. Linus belives in the idea that all software should be free, an idea I share with him. It wouldn't take long for thousands of programmers from all differnet backgrounds to come together to make Linux a full opertaing system.
fast forward to 2025 and linux is now one of the most popular OS's in the world with 4.45% of the market share! However there isnt just Linux. Linux comes in distrobututions, such as Arch Linux, Linux Mint, and others.
(LINK TO LINUS'S CHOICE OF PROGRAMING SOCKS) Linus is a troll and from my many hours of researching him he is VERY abraisive.
He had some not so kind words to say to Nvidias CEO Jensen Huang Due to Nvidia making it a absoulte PAIN for Linux users to make thier (VERY EXPENSIVE) Graphics cards work on Linux.
I Have some more stuff coming up soon so keep checking the blog for that.
