Linus Torvalds came for a family of journalists. His parents, grandfather and even his uncle all were well educated in fields of writing, organizing and distribution for news to the people of Finland(where they lived). As a child Linus had been greatly influenced by his grandfather and the interest in computers which lead him to enroll in University of Helsinki. In the University of Helsinki, Linus majored in computer science. While enrolled in the university, Linus had gotten bored and frustrated with certain software that he began a project that was based on both MINIX and UNIX. Finally after much time and effort Linus had published his program, the Linux also known as the kernel used in toady's operating systems. Linus has been developing programs for over twenty years now.
Linus Torvalds historic program the Linux is an open-source operating system modelled on UNIX and MINIX computer languages. In the early 1990's Linus had his kernel, Linux but it didn't have any programs to run. Around late 1991 Linus had combined his kernel with GNU programs giving it even more life. Linux is used even in today's computers along side windows, mac and other operating systems. Linux is a much more open operating system, allowing the user to actually work with the coding of it. Windows and mac on the other hand don't allow just anyone to mess with the coding of there operating systems. Some advantages of Linus is its freedom is super high, its easy to install, very stable and less vulnerable to computer malware.
A few disadvantages of Linux are many windows programs will not work on it and there is a smaller selection of hardware drivers for it to use.
