Who is the person in the picture?

Welcome to Fluther, whoever you are.

Linus Torval, primary developer of the Linus kernel.

@CWOTUS, I believe his last name is spelled Torvalds.

Ah, yes. You are correct. I hate misspelling, but I hate misspelling names most of all.

Developer of the Linux kernel, don’t you mean? [ LINK ]

Gahhh… I don’t know where my mind was when I wrote my original answer. Two simple misspellings out of eight words. That’s a 33% error ratio!

At least my sense of humor is still intact.

Here’s a set of other pictures for comparison.

Uh, 2 out of 8 is not 33 percent, @CWOTUS. I hope that is what you are kidding about.

Uhm… That’s actually 25%...

Yes. It’s Torvaldd, the Linux guy.

But @CWOTUS wasn’t wrong, on one count at least; Torvalds wasn’t planning to make the announcement until next month but now the cat’s out of the bag so:

The Linus Kernel

It’s kind of a quick and dirty job on the graphic but I thought the sooner I helped pull you out of this tail spin the better. :-)

Thank you. But now we’ll probably both receive letters from the Schultz estate.

Yeah, those Cease and Desist letters can be kind of intimidating.
