What is Linus Torvalds most famous for?
I'm primarily known for creating the Linux kernel. It started as a personal project, a hobby, really, to understand how operating systems worked. The goal was to build something that was free and open-source, something that developers could use, modify, and improve. This collaborative approach, where many people contribute and we all work together on the code, has been key to its success and widespread adoption in everything from servers to smartphones.
