More quotes by Linus Torvalds
I don't think I'm unusual in preferring my laptop to be thin and light.
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
Being open source meant that I could work on the technical side (along with lots of other people), and others who had the interest and inclination could start up companies around it.
Linus Torvalds
I don't doubt at all that virtualization is useful in some areas. What I doubt rather strongly is that it will ever have the kind of impact that the people involved in virtualization want it to have.
Linus Torvalds
The memory management on the PowerPC can be used to frighten small children.
Linus Torvalds
The economics of the security world are all horribly, horribly nasty and are largely based on fear, intimidation and blackmail.
Linus Torvalds
Once you start thinking more about where you want to be than about making the best product, you're screwed.
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
I do get my pizzas paid for by Linux indirectly.
Linus Torvalds
Making Linux GPL'd was definitely the best thing I ever did.
Linus Torvalds
Helsinki isn't all that bad. It's a very nice city, and it's cold really only in wintertime.
Linus Torvalds
By staying neutral, I end up being somebody that everybody can trust. Even if they don't always agree with my decisions, they know I'm not working against them.
Linus Torvalds
I'd much rather have 15 people arguing about something than 15 people splitting into two camps, each side convinced it's right and not talking to the other.
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
Don't hurry your code. Make sure it works well and is well designed. Don't worry about timing.
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
People will realize that software is not a product you use it to build a product.
Linus Torvalds
I think the term intellectual property should be avoided, not because it's a bad term, but because it mixes things up that shouldn't be mixed up. There are different forms, and they hardly have anything to do with each other.
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. As such, I'm not very likely to make the same kind of money that Bill made.
Linus Torvalds
When somebody who is different shows himself to be different in a good way, that's how development happens.
