Artists usually don't make all that much money, and they often keep their artistic hobby despite the money rather than due to it.

More quotes by Linus Torvalds
I may make jokes about Microsoft at times, but at the same time, I think the Microsoft hatred is a disease.
Linus Torvalds
Most of the good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program.
Linus Torvalds
What I find most interesting is how people really have taken Linux and used it in ways and attributes and motivations that I never felt.
Linus Torvalds
I like offending people, because I think people who get offended should be offended.
Linus Torvalds
There are lots of Linux users who don't care how the kernel works but only want to use it is not only a tribute to how good Linux is, but it also brings up issues that I would never have thought of otherwise.
Linus Torvalds
If Microsoft ever does applications for Linux it means I've won.
Linus Torvalds
All operating systems sucks, but Linux just sucks less
Linus Torvalds
One of the reasons that I really don't mind that people are selling Linux commercially is exactly because it does make me feel good that people use the product.
Linus Torvalds
I made very sure that I did not get involved with any of the commercial Linux companies, exactly so that I would be neutral and not ever seen as working for the competition.
Linus Torvalds
A computer is like air conditioning - it becomes useless when you open Windows
Linus Torvalds
Language is one of the fundamental principles of human understanding. It is the way we interact with each other and how we grasp the world we live in. Intelligence is the ability to avoid doing work, yet getting the work done.
Linus Torvalds
I'm perfectly happy complaining, because it's cathartic, and I'm perfectly happy arguing with people on the Internet because arguing is my favourite pastime - not programming.
Linus Torvalds
I claim that Mach people (and apparently FreeBSD) are incompetent idiots.
Linus Torvalds
Only wimps use tape backup. Real men just upload their important stuff on ftp and let the rest of the world mirror it.
Linus Torvalds
I'd argue that everybody wants to do something that matters, and the fact that Linux has had a huge impact on the tech market and is used virtually everywhere is obviously very personally satisfying. I think programming is fun, and the community around the kernel is great, but a project has to be relevant too.
Linus Torvalds
I love making friends.... it's people I can't stand.
Linus Torvalds
The way to do good basic design isn't actually to be really smart about it, but to try to have a few basic concepts.
Linus Torvalds
People who are doing things for fun do things the right way by themselves.
Linus Torvalds
Shareware tends to combine the worst of commercial software with the worst of free software.
Linus Torvalds
If it is relevant there is always somebody else out there.
