Linux is not a major invention, it is simply a free version of an
existing one called Unix which had many flavors in the early 90s.

While I am generally onboard with the idea that a prominent figure of the
Open Source community might be recognized as a leader of world peace (or
simply as having had a large humanitarian impact), it is unclear to me that
Linus Torvalds is the correct recipient. Linux is a cool piece of software.

Why is it that every bloody adult discussion these days invariably
devolves in some kind of banal religious harangue? It's unnecessary and
uncivil. And, ironically, it does not foster peace in the community.

He does not deserve a nobel peace prize.
World peace comes from God where Linus if I am not mistaken
is an atheist. He is incapable of experiencing world peace.
As far as Linux producing world peace, it's use is still
very limited in the world. Microsoft

I think you make an excellent case. Tovalds or Mark Shuttleworth would
make excellent choices for a Nobel laureate, IMO. Their contributions
to humanity will endure long after most of today's major crises and
concerns have crumbled into dust.
