Linus Torvalds to Nvidia: “F**K You!”
Linus Torvalds is definitely one of the toughest characters you will find in the tech world. Linux would not be what it is today without Torvalds and the passion he brings to the open-source movement.
In this video recorded Thursday, Torvalds is at the Aalto University Center for Entrepreneurship in Otaniemi, Finland, responding to a university student’s question about Nvidia and the difficulty in getting Linux support.
Torvalds says Nvidia is by far the worst hardware company he has ever worked with and that’s a shame considering that Nvidia tries sell a lot of chips into the Android market.
And with that, Torvalds turns to the camera says “so Nvidia fuck you,” and gives the middle finger to the camera.
What a great look into Torvalds and the dynamics of the open-source movement and its relationship with the tech giants.
