Linus Torvalds is known as the creator of Linux, an open source operating system that has greatly
influenced the world of software. The story begins in 1991, when Linus was a university student
in Helsinki, Finland. He had been working on an operating system project for his own amusement
and shared it with other developers over the internet. The response was very positive, and Linux
quickly began to gain popularity.
The key to Linux's success was its open source license. This meant that anyone could download,
modify and distribute the source code of the operating system for free. As more and more people
started working on Linux, it became a very robust and versatile operating system.
Although Linux started out as a small, personal project, it soon became an open source movement.
The Linux developer community grew rapidly, becoming a model for other open source software
projects.
Linux's impact on the world of software has been significant. Today, Linux is used in all kinds of
devices, from web servers to smartphones and cars. The developer community remains active
and committed to continuous improvement of the operating system.
Linus Torvalds has been a key figure in this open source movement. His vision of a free and open
source operating system has been central to the success of Linux. He has also been a leader in
the Linux developer community, making sure the project keeps moving forward and improving.
In short, Linux and Linus Torvalds have been a major influence in the world of software. The idea
of an open source operating system has changed the way software is developed and distributed,
giving rise to a global community of developers committed to innovation and continuous
improvement.
