Ever year, Linus Torvalds goes on vacation to Australia, during which he usually also visits linux.conf.au. During his stay this year he gave an interview to ComputerWorld, in which he talked about the success of point releases and the important topic of file systems in Linux, which is quite an active field today with ext4 and Btrfs. He also gave some insights into why he switched away from KDE, moving to GNOME instead, and he shares his thoughts on Windows 7.

1) It is unfortunate people still think plasma is the desktop.
It isn't.
I would describe plasma as a tool with which one can create a desktop ui.
2) the old kdesktop+panel was a mess and unmaintainable. so here goes the old saying "You can polish a turd, but it still is a turd".
