More quotes by Linus Torvalds
I don't doubt at all that virtualization is useful in some areas. What I doubt rather strongly is that it will ever have the kind of impact that the people involved in virtualization want it to have.
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
I love making friends.... it's people I can't stand.
Linus Torvalds
People who are doing things for fun do things the right way by themselves.
Linus Torvalds
To be honest, the fact that people trust you gives you a lot of power over people. Having another person's trust is more powerful than all other management techniques put together.
Linus Torvalds
A consumer doesn't take anything away: he doesn't actually consume anything. Giving the same thing to a thousand consumers is not really any more expensive than giving it to just one.
Linus Torvalds
Don't hurry your code. Make sure it works well and is well designed. Don't worry about timing.
Linus Torvalds
My name is Linus, and I am your God.
Linus Torvalds
I'm simply too content doing what I want to do to really have a very negative attitude towards MicroSoft. They make bad products - so what? I don't need to care, because I happily don't have to use them, and writing my own alternative has been a very gratifying experience in many ways.
Linus Torvalds
The Linux philosophy is laugh in the face of danger. Oops. Wrong one. Do it yourself. That's it.
Linus Torvalds
The cyberspace 'earnings' I get from Linux come in the format of having a Network of people that know me and trust me, and that I can depend on in return.
Linus Torvalds
I don't think I'm unusual in preferring my laptop to be thin and light.
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
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
The bulk of all patents are crap. Spending time reading them is stupid. It's up to the patent owner to do so, and to enforce them.
Linus Torvalds
People will realize that software is not a product you use it to build a product.
Linus Torvalds
While I may not get any money from Linux, I get a huge personal satisfaction from having written something that people really enjoy using, and that people find to be the best alternative for their needs.
Linus Torvalds
Eventually the revolutionaries become the established culture, and then what will they do
Linus Torvalds
I may make jokes about Microsoft at times, but at the same time, I think the Microsoft hatred is a disease.

All operating systems sucks, but Linux just sucks less
