Torvalds attended the University of Helsinki from 1988 to 1996, graduating with a master's degree in computer science from the NODES research group. He was named after Linus Pauling, the Nobel Prize–winning American chemist, although in the book Rebel Code: Linux and the Open Source Revolution, he is quoted as saying, 'I think I was named equally for Linus the Peanuts cartoon character', noting that this made him 'half Nobel Prize–winning chemist and half blanket-carrying cartoon character'. His family belongs to the Swedish-speaking minority in Finland. His parents were campus radicals at the University of Helsinki in the 1960s.

Torvalds was born in Helsinki, Finland, the son of journalists Anna and Nils Torvalds, the grandson of statistician Leo Törnqvist and of poet Ole Torvalds, and the great-grandson of journalist and soldier Toivo Karanko. He was honored, along with Shinya Yamanaka, with the 2012 Millennium Technology Prize by the Technology Academy Finland 'in recognition of his creation of a new open source operating system for computers leading to the widely used Linux kernel.' He is also the recipient of the 2014 IEEE Computer Society Computer Pioneer Award and the 2018 IEEE Masaru Ibuka Consumer Electronics Award.

He also created the distributed version control system Git.
