From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It seems you translated it. 😅 Well it is a saying... When someone is excited or proud of someone/something. I don't know the specifics (even though I am a native). So please, if anyone else wants to explain, feel free to do so...
I'm not a native but I can try to explain. Greek has two forms of expressing possession: the first is simply the genitive of the personal pronoun (in this case μου is the genitive of the first person singular pronoun εγώ). When expressing possession in this way it always follows the noun it refers to whereas the article comes before e.g. "my house" > "το σπίτι μου" and it's invariable. (Note that in English possessives are determiners and can not co-exist with articles it's either one or the other, in Greek this is not the case). The second form is in combination with "δικός" and these behave more like adjectives and must agree in gender and number with the noun they refer to "my house" > "το δικό μου σπίτι" vs "my houses" > "τα δικά μου σπίτια".
That is true... And that explains it in a literal sense
