Linus Torvalds is more like Tesla than Edison. Edison was a thug.

"That people did just not understand the concept of creating a program because you like programming." -- Linus Torvalds

Genius, idol, hero, I love this man.

[ThePenahi]

now there is the dislike bar i like.

@XanderXereus It wouldn't have caught on without it being complete, but the real reason it caught on was because of it's nature. Because it was free, and, after some time, highly reliable.

[sleestack808]

@benofoz agree

@SolomonKull Now there are compilers that are not gcc, back then it was just GNU Tool Chain and porting Linux to any other compiler would waste time, might even destroy it :p

[SolomonKull]

@zainussami

Without gcc. There *are* C compilers that are not gcc.

@67576856666478964567 How would you compile the kernel?

[zainussami]

Linus is a rude guy and usually he has no idea of what he is talking about. Linux was just lucky that Berkeley decided to stop its project and now we are left to bear with this Monolithic Kernel which is more or less heading towards Windows and other unreliable OS.

[swyzer]

I love people crying over RS not being mentioned. It's been 20+ years and the GNU Hurd is still epic fail. Linux is successful because the kernel is great.

[XanderXereus]

The only reason is caught on was because it the GNU project made it a complete Operating System... it's actually kind of annoying to watch this video.

[Laoch111]

Linux is just the kernel. The GNU/Linux OS comprises of both Richard Stallman's GNU and Linus Torvalds Linux kernel. Both people should be mentioned when talking about the creation of GNU/Linux OS.
