We propably could fit linux source code

You'd also need to also include our computer architecture, as well as a C compiler, together with its source code.

And then how to reliably store it for hundreds of thousands of years.

Though, we would probably be able to fit it, and a ton of other code, considering our data storage capabilities. The big question would just be the reliability, and redundancy for error correction.
