More quotes by 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
I started Linux as a desktop operating system. And it's the only area where Linux hasn't completely taken over. That just annoys the hell out of me.
Linus Torvalds
I think that freely available software can not only keep up with the evolution of commercial software, but often exceed what you can do commercially.
Linus Torvalds
The economics of the security world are all horribly, horribly nasty and are largely based on fear, intimidation and blackmail.
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.
Linus Torvalds
You won't get sued for anticompetitive behavior.
Linus Torvalds
When I do programming in my free time and for my own enjoyment, I really want to have a kind of protection: knowing that when I improve a program those improvements will continue to be available to me and others in future versions of the program.
Linus Torvalds
Intelligence is the ability to avoid doing work, yet getting the work done.
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
It was such a relief to program in user mode for a change. Not having to care about the small stuff is wonderful.
Linus Torvalds
I obviously think that freely available software can not only keep up with the evolution of commercial software, but often exceed what you can do commercially.
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
I don't think I'm unusual in preferring my laptop to be thin and light.
Linus Torvalds
I don't go to conferences quite as much as I used to: having a child and movin away from the university leaves me with less time, but I've tried to balance things out - not just spending time with Linux all the time, but having a real job and a real life at the same time.
Linus Torvalds
Portability is for people who cannot write new programs.
Linus Torvalds
Artists usually don't make all that much money, and they often keep their artistic hobby despite the money rather than due to it.
Linus Torvalds
The NIH syndrome (Not Invented Here) is a disease.
Linus Torvalds
Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.
Linus Torvalds
It just makes it even harder for people to even approach the (open source) side, when they then end up having to worry about public humiliation.
Linus Torvalds
If it is relevant there is always somebody else out there.
