More quotes by 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
The memory management on the PowerPC can be used to frighten small children.
Linus Torvalds
People who are doing things for fun do things the right way by themselves.
Linus Torvalds
One of the questions I've always hated answering is how do people make money in open source. And I think that Caldera and Red Hat - and there are a number of other Linux companies going public - basically show that yes, you can actually make money in the open-source area.
Linus Torvalds
If you start doing things because you hate others and want to screw them over, the end result is bad.
Linus Torvalds
All operating systems sucks, but Linux just sucks less
Linus Torvalds
I see myself as a technical person who chose a great project and a great way of doing that project.
Linus Torvalds
I have an ego the size of a small planet.
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
Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.
Linus Torvalds
I claim that Mach people (and apparently FreeBSD) are incompetent idiots.
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
That's what makes Linux so good: you put in something, and that effort multiplies. It's a positive feedback cycle.
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
We all know Linux is great...it does infinite loops in 5 seconds.
Linus Torvalds
Non-technical questions sometimes don't have an answer at all.
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
Once you start thinking more about where you want to be than about making the best product, you're screwed.
Linus Torvalds
I really never wanted to do source control management at all and felt that it was just about the least interesting thing in the computing world .
Linus Torvalds
I don't think I'm unusual in preferring my laptop to be thin and light.
Linus Torvalds
