long time since I did an actual fact post, here I go
1 - about 89% of the Linux Kernel is written by other devs and not Linus Torvalds himself
2 - even Microsoft contributes to Linux Kernel development
3 - all supercomputers use Linux
4 - about 96% of servers use Linux
5 - There are more than 10 Linux based Mobile Operating Systems
6 - The mascot Tux [penguin] was suggested by Linus Torvalds after a penguin bit him in the zoo
7 - Steve Jobs once offered in 2000 a job to Linus Torvalds at Apple, Linus rejected
8 - Google has contributed about 1.1% of the code in the current Linux kernel
9 - In early 1991, unhappy with the MS-DOS and MINIX, Torvalds wanted to buy a UNIX system. Luckily for us, he didn’t have enough money. So he decided to make his own clone of UNIX, from scratch.
10 - Linus also created Git when BitKeeper shutdown its free service
11 - Linus Torvalds has a strong dislike for C++ programming language, he has been vocal about it. He jokes that Linux Kernel compiles faster than a C++ program.
12 - first Linux Kernel, version 0.01, had just 10,239 lines of code
13 - Linux is also a genuine washing powder brand in Switzerland
14 - Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer once called Linux cancer. In 2016, Microsoft created its own Linux distribution.
15 - America’s NSA had approached Linus Torvalds in order to create backdoors in Linux Kernel. Linus said no this ‘request’.

ok

😮 , I mean I knew developers contributes patches to Linux , but don't knew the percentage...
3 - all supercomputers use Linux
Quantum computers too?
9 - In early 1991, unhappy with the MS-DOS and MINIX, Torvalds wanted to buy a UNIX system. Luckily for us, he didn’t have enough money. So he decided to make his own clone of UNIX, from scratch.
That's a good news 👌😂

So using "Linux" is not that much hard (jk)
