@derpyshy Linus Torvalds developed the Linux kernel, yes, but Linux is useless without the GNU components. The GNU team (one of the guys being Richard Stallman) developed pretty much the whole OS, and were busy with the kernel, when Linus made one himself (the GNU guys were going for a microkernel design, which takes much longer, and this very day there is still no stable version of HURD (as they called their kernel)). The GNU components and Linux were bundled, but many people did not know that the GNU components weren't part of Linux, calling the system simply Linux (and not GNU/Linux), giving Linus Torvalds all the credit. And that's how Equestria was made.
