As of today, December 28, 2024, Linus Torvalds is celebrating his 55th birthday. Born on December 28, 1969, in Helsinki, Finland, he is renowned as the creator of the Linux operating system.

His contributions have significantly impacted the tech industry, and he continues to be a central figure in the open-source software community.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Linus for his dedication and the profound influence he has had on technology and the linux community.

Happy Birthday, Linus!
