Torvalds is a cool guy! There's no denying that. But he kind of did what anybody could've done, invented a free clone of Unix. He only really changed things with Git. People give Torvalds a bit too much credit for Linux.
Let's scrap innovating and say "changed things" instead.
If Linux never existed the world would be on a different Unix-like or on an actual Unix derivative.

So, he didn't do 100% of the work, but Linux is still the single best option we have, and it's also free, so as far as I care, he can get all the praise in the world.
If you think you can do better then the best, I truly wish you were correct.
@LukeAlmighty I'm really not trying to imply that I of all people could've done better. I'm a retarded monkey who can read code to get a basic understanding of how something works. I'm just upset at some of the excess credit Linux gets for stuff like the coreutils.
@nyanide
Don't worry, I can't even read code.
