More quotes by Linus Torvalds
The NIH syndrome (Not Invented Here) is a disease.
Linus Torvalds
One of the reasons I like open source is that it allows people to work on the parts they are good at, and I don't mean just on a technical level some people are into the whole selling and support, and that's just not me.
Linus Torvalds
I love making friends.... it's people I can't stand.
Linus Torvalds
What commercialism has brought to Linux has been the incentive to make a good distribution that is easy to use and that has all the packaging issues worked out.
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
I have an ego the size of a small planet.
Linus Torvalds
Non-technical questions sometimes don't have an answer at all.
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
A computer is like air conditioning - it becomes useless when you open Windows
Linus Torvalds
The memory management on the PowerPC can be used to frighten small children.
Linus Torvalds
Once you start thinking more about where you want to be than about making the best product, you're screwed.
Linus Torvalds
If Microsoft ever does applications for Linux it means I've won.
Linus Torvalds
Turtles are very stable and have been around forever. But they have problems adapting. When humans came along, turtles came under serious threat. Biodiversity is good, and I think it is good in technology as well.
Linus Torvalds
People who are doing things for fun do things the right way by themselves.
Linus Torvalds
Theory and practice sometimes clash. And when that happens, theory loses. Every single time.
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
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
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 am pragmatic. That which works, works, and theory can go screw itself. However, my pragmatism also extends to maintainability, which is why I also want it done well.
Linus Torvalds
Intelligence is the ability to avoid doing work, yet getting the work done.
