More quotes by Linus Torvalds
I actually think that I'm a rather optimistic and happy person it's just that I'm not a very positive person, if you see the difference.
Linus Torvalds
Theory and practice sometimes clash. And when that happens, theory loses. Every single time.
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
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
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
There are extremists in the free software world, but that's one major reason why I don't call what I do free software any more. I don't want to be associated with the people for whom it's about exclusion and hatred.
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
I've actually found the image of Silicon Valley as a hotbed of money-grubbing tech people to be pretty false, but maybe that's because the people I hang out with are all really engineers.
Linus Torvalds
I claim that Mach people (and apparently FreeBSD) are incompetent idiots.
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
All operating systems sucks, but Linux just sucks less
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 memory management on the PowerPC can be used to frighten small children.
Linus Torvalds
The way to do good basic design isn't actually to be really smart about it, but to try to have a few basic concepts.
Linus Torvalds
Other people have other goals, and sometimes the BSD style licenses are better for those goals. I personally tend to prefer the GPL, but that really doesn't mean that the GPL is any way inherently superior - it depends on what you want the license to do.
Linus Torvalds
If it is relevant there is always somebody else out there.
Linus Torvalds
I'm sitting in my home office wearing a bathrobe. The same way I'm not going to start wearing ties, I'm also not going to buy into the fake politeness, the lying, the office politics and backstabbing, the passive aggressiveness, and the buzzwords.
Linus Torvalds
I've never regretted not making Linux shareware: I really don't like the pay for use binary shareware programs.
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
