More quotes by Linus Torvalds
I like offending people, because I think people who get offended should be offended.
Linus Torvalds
I think people can generally trust me, but they can trust me exactly because they know they don't have to.
Linus Torvalds
Shareware tends to combine the worst of commercial software with the worst of free software.
Linus Torvalds
With software, you really can replicate and do a lot of very real and active development in parallel, and actually try it out and see what works.
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
I very seldom worry about other systems. I concentrate pretty fully on just making Linux the best I can.
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've been employed by the University of Helsinki, and that has been paying my bills. Obviously a ''real job'' pays better than most universities will pay, but I've been very happy with this arrangement I get to do whatever I want, and I have no commercial pressures whatsoever doing this.
Linus Torvalds
In many cases the user interface to a program is the most important part for a commercial company: whether the programs works correctly or not seems to be secondary.
Linus Torvalds
A computer is like air conditioning - it becomes useless when you open Windows
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
Non-technical questions sometimes don't have an answer at all.
Linus Torvalds
This 'users are idiots, and are confused by functionality' mentality of Gnome is a disease. If you think your users are idiots, only idiots will use it.
Linus Torvalds
Once you start thinking more about where you want to be than about making the best product, you're screwed.
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
When somebody who is different shows himself to be different in a good way, that's how development happens.
Linus Torvalds
People will realize that software is not a product you use it to build a product.
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
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
Working in lock-step simply isn't a good idea. Never has been, never will be.
Linus Torvalds
