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
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
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
If you like using CVS, you should be in some kind of mental institution or somewhere else.
Linus Torvalds
So I decided that if the architecture is fundamentally sane enough, say it follows some basic rules like it supported paging , then I would be able to say, yes, Linux fundamentally supports that model.
Linus Torvalds
People who are doing things for fun do things the right way by themselves.
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
Real quality means making sure that people are proud of the code they write, that they're involved and taking it personally.
Linus Torvalds
I've never regretted not making Linux shareware: I really don't like the pay for use binary shareware programs.
Linus Torvalds
And 1.1.81 is officially BugFree(tm), so if you receive any bug-reports on it, you know they are just evil lies.
Linus Torvalds
I love making friends.... it's people I can't stand.
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
A computer is like air conditioning - it becomes useless when you open Windows
Linus Torvalds
A consumer doesn't take anything away: he doesn't actually consume anything. Giving the same thing to a thousand consumers is not really any more expensive than giving it to just one.
Linus Torvalds
I'd argue that everybody wants to do something that matters, and the fact that Linux has had a huge impact on the tech market and is used virtually everywhere is obviously very personally satisfying. I think programming is fun, and the community around the kernel is great, but a project has to be relevant too.
Linus Torvalds
Helsinki isn't all that bad. It's a very nice city, and it's cold really only in wintertime.
Linus Torvalds
I started Linux because I wanted to see it on the desktop... I do hope that the desktop people would try to work together ... and work more on the technology than trying to make the login screen look really nice.
Linus Torvalds
I have an ego the size of a small planet.
Linus Torvalds
I'm perfectly happy complaining, because it's cathartic, and I'm perfectly happy arguing with people on the Internet because arguing is my favourite pastime - not programming.
Linus Torvalds
I like offending people, because I think people who get offended should be offended.
