Star The World According to Linus

Linux He doesn't own a mobile phone and he is proud of it. And he thinks virtualization is over-hyped. Find out what else we prize from Linux guru Linus Torvalds. "Linux has done what I wanted it to do for the last fifteen years, literally. So since very early on my motivation actually came from the outside: my motivation came from problems that other people see. I don't see the problems, my usage model is actually fairly simple and it's still the same development model that I tend to concentrate on. So I am actually motivated by other people's issues, and sometimes they make me go 'those people are just crazy, that's just insane', but sometimes the crazy people have some of the most interesting problems too."

I don't want to know the opinion of such a guy.


So don't read the article. That's a lot simpler than first reading it and then complaining about having read it.

Not reading his article doesn't make some folks stop parroting his opinion in places where I surf.

Hey Wee man,

You wouldn't be one of those Gnome users who took a valid criticism of Gnome as a personal attack... would you?
