I think we should take a step back and also find a moment for another unsung hero, water. Water also played a bigger role in the discovery of Higgs boson than Linux. Without water the researchers would surely have died of thirst weeks or days after starting work at CERN. In "water" we trust. On that note - what about paper and pens. Would the discovery have been possible without paper and pens? We'll never know for sure.
