If there are more than one Linus, what do you call that? Is it Linuses, Lini, or something else like "a kit of Linus?" English plural confuses me sometimes

How many people are named Linus again ? I see Linus Torvalds and Linus Sebastian ... 

 

Maybe we could call them Linux ...

... Life is a game and the checkpoints are your birthday , you will face challenges where you may not get rewarded afterwords but those are the challenges that help you improve yourself . Always live for tomorrow because you may never know when your game will be over ... I'm totally not going insane in anyway , shape or form ... I just have broken English and an open mind ...

There's only 1 Linus, bruh

I would probably 1 Linus, 2 Linus. Or 2 Linuses.

I dunno, don't pluralize names often

lithuanian is terrible, it's old, they tried to write it down as it was spoken, our grammar is impossible to learn, every rule has 4 million exceptions. English was pretty much engineered to be somewhat simple and that is beautiful.

I think that is the most proper way of writing it but I don't think some of the others are strictly incorrect either.
