While looking for open source dive log applications on F-Droid (in preparation for my Advanced Open Water Certification) and I found an app called Subsurface and apparently it is as developed by none other than Linus Torvalds himself.

I also found this neat YouTube video of Dirk Hohndel talking about scuba diving with Linus.

I learnt about it in a interview about git, he also had this necessity that no other software could fulfill and decided to create his own.

And like with git, he decided he didn’t want to continue its development and let other people to take the project because he’s a kernel guy.
