 These are 5 Linux facts that you might not know about. There are just over 25 million lines of code in the Linux kernel, and despite recent efforts to make the kernel smaller, that number keeps growing. More than 5 million lines of code have been added since 2018. Only about 1% of the Linux kernel is code written by Linus himself. As of this video, there are nearly 1 million contributors to the Linux kernel. Those million devs have contributed over 1 million commits to the Linux repository. Leave jobs almost ruined Linux by offering Linus a job in the year 2000. The catch was that Linus would have to adopt the development of Linux, which obviously he did not do. Originally Linus wanted to name Linux freaks, and only because of a co-worker eventually agreed to change the name to Linux.
