Not quite. The Linux kernel was developed by Mr. Torvalds. The overall Operating Systems are made by volunteers from all over the world. And he's from a Swedish-speaking family with a Swedish name, so it's unlikely he'll get any heroic statues or monuments around the University of Helsinki like he deserves.
He's also notoriously difficult to get along with, which might curtail him getting proper recognition. Not that the IEEE Pioneer Award is anything to sneer at. But he might have gotten the full IEEE Medal of Honor by this point if he wasn't such an asshole. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-45664640
