This can be confirmed by running uname -m (one of the ways to check if linux OS is 32 bit or 64 Bit) which should return x86_64.

Linus gift to the world will be Git not Linux (and what about an OS built on top of an hash-driven file system?)

I know it is a big claim, but I think that Linus Torvalds will be more famous for creating Git than for this work on Linux

Linux is a great example of OpenSource development and a good OS. Its impact is mainly technical and behind the scenes.

Git is a hashed-based file system with built-it version control. Its impact is not only technical but social.

The more I use Git, the more I appreciate its beauty, simplicity and ability to scale while handling complex workflows.
