More quotes by Linus Torvalds
Eventually the revolutionaries become the established culture, and then what will they do
Linus Torvalds
The complaints I've had is that GitHub as a development platform - making commits, pull requests, keeping track of issues etc - doesn't work very well at all. It's not even close, not for something like the kernel. It's much too limited.
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
Making Linux GPL'd was definitely the best thing I ever did.
Linus Torvalds
On the internet nobody can hear you being subtle.
Linus Torvalds
All operating systems sucks, but Linux just sucks less
Linus Torvalds
You won't get sued for anticompetitive behavior.
Linus Torvalds
If you want to travel around the world and be invited to speak at a lot of different places, just write a Unix operating system.
Linus Torvalds
Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.
Linus Torvalds
I have an ego the size of a small planet.
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
Bill Gates really seems to be much more of a business man than a technologist, while I prefer to think of Linux in technical terms rather than as a means to money. As such, I'm not very likely to make the same kind of money that Bill made.
Linus Torvalds
Software is like sex. It's only good when it's for free.
Linus Torvalds
Let's put it this way: if you need to ask a lawyer whether what you do is right or not, you are morally corrupt. Let's not go there. We don't base our morality on law.
Linus Torvalds
You know, the mark of intelligence is realizing when you're making the same mistake over and over and over again, and not hitting your head in the wall five hundred times before you understand that it's not a clever thing to do.
Linus Torvalds
I used to be interested in Windows NT, but the more I see it, the more it looks like traditional Windows with a stabler kernel. I don't find anything technically interesting there.
Linus Torvalds
People who are doing things for fun do things the right way by themselves.
Linus Torvalds
I very seldom worry about other systems. I concentrate pretty fully on just making Linux the best I can.
Linus Torvalds
I don't actually go to that many conferences. I do that a couple of times a year. Normally, I am not recognized people don't throw their panties at me. I'm a perfectly normal person sitting in my den just doing my job.
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.
