Pretty cool that Linus Torvalds invented a completely distributed version control system and 20 years later we all use it to store our code in a single place.

That's wrong hot take.

GH have forks. Those are distributed repos. You can also sync to GitLab and similar, you can front it with the likes of Gerrit, integrate some code review UIs that actually clone code, etc.

You can exercise distributed nature of git with GitHub quite well.
