"Daddy, can I use Windows?" - "Shut up and compile your kernel!"
-
He invented Linux and Git and he speaks three languages fluently. I’m glad we have him.
-
Why would you use Windows if Linus is your family member? You have an error with Linux? Well there is one person that will certainly fix it.
-
Dear Microsoft, Thanks for Windows 8! Love, Linux
-
"Linus, we have got to do something about our daughter. I caught her in bed this morning ...... using Windows. Could you imagine if the neighbors find out?"
-
"dad im going to Nick's house for the school project, we will just copy from Wikipedia" "Son get this pendrive, and install gentoo on his computer when he isnt looking"
-
"We don't use windows." Isn't it dark in your house then?
-
Robber: *tries to break in and searches for Windows* Linus Torvalds: We don't do that here
-
2:00 - The actual answer (before that is two minutes of talking about Finnish vs. Swedish language for some reason)
-
When you watched 2/3 of the video and still waited for the interviewer to ask questions about "windows"
-
2:18 when you gotta scroll but MUST RETAIN EYE CONTACT
-
Torvalds is one of the calmest, most balanced individuals I've ever met, especially in the computer industry. This is an example.
-
Actually we don't need Windows and Gates in this Open world without walls and fences. Think about
-
Am I the only one who, despite being a Linux developer, thought his talk about languages at home was more interesting?
-
And Now Microsoft have taken over linus torvalds' github account
-
finally an interviewer who doesn't impose his own agenda on the conversation.. refreshing!
-
I wrote all my degree work in Open Office, never used Word once, so I can agree with Linus here. It can be difficult to find Linux friendly printers though. My Epson all-in-one hates Linux, but it is a few years old and everyone used Windows back when I bought it.
-
This looks like one of those prison interview shows
-
"Dad can I use Windows for gaming?" "We don't do that here"

I think the issue about computers and school is not which operating system to use, but which document formats. If the school is insisting on using closed Microsoft formats (that aren't even compatible from one version of MS Office to the next) then you've got problems. But most schools I've spoken to don't care: hand in your assignment in something they can read, formatting isn't important. One teacher mentioned plain text! Another PDF. They all said not Word: we might not be able to read it.
