More quotes by Linus Torvalds
There's innovation in Linux. There are some really good technical features that I'm proud of. There are capabilities in Linux that aren't in other operating systems.
Linus Torvalds
Generally, the best way to learn git is probably to first only do very basic things and not even look at some of the things you can do until you are familiar and confident about the basics.
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
All operating systems sucks, but Linux just sucks less
Linus Torvalds
Don't hurry your code. Make sure it works well and is well designed. Don't worry about timing.
Linus Torvalds
You won't get sued for anticompetitive behavior.
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 try to avoid long-range plans and visions - that way I can more easily deal with anything new that comes up without having pre-conceptions of how I should deal with it. My only long-range plan has been and still is just the very general plan of making Linux better.
Linus Torvalds
I want my office to be quiet. The loudest thing in the room - by far - should be the occasional purring of the cat.
Linus Torvalds
Quite frankly, even if the choice of C were to do *nothing* but keep the C++ programmers out, that in itself would be a huge reason to use C.
Linus Torvalds
Working in lock-step simply isn't a good idea. Never has been, never will be.
Linus Torvalds
No problem is too big it can't be run away from
Linus Torvalds
The correct form factor for a laptop is obviously 12 and 2 lbs, and I don't understand why everybody gets that wrong.
Linus Torvalds
I started Linux because I wanted to see it on the desktop... I do hope that the desktop people would try to work together ... and work more on the technology than trying to make the login screen look really nice.
Linus Torvalds
On the internet nobody can hear you being subtle.
Linus Torvalds
I do get my pizzas paid for by Linux indirectly.
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
I don't think I'm unusual in preferring my laptop to be thin and light.
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 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
