I've been using Linux for years. I don't know how to code. It took me years to get my .muttrc file properly configured so that I could use the Mutt email client. Mae Ling Mak used Mutt, so I decided that I would use it too. I figured back then that even though Mae Ling Mak was smarter than I was, not to mention younger and prettier, I should still be able to get it done if I worked at it long enough. I use Linux for almost everything. Yes, I guess that Mr. Zemlin is a generalist. The boss doesn't get to be a specialist…. which is for insects anyway. In any case, what he said here makes sense to me. I'll probably never write a line of code. Most likely the closest I will ever come is configuring my .muttrc and .bashrc files. For what I do, perhaps this is enough.
What about stallman, Mackenzie, FOSS project , Open source movement , KEN Thompson, Dennis Ritchie , Tannenbaum ??????
Linus is great i reckon!
It was stallman and his team's idea for GNu project…… They had everything but kernel….. Linus wrote kernel and that's great but it took a lot of effort to improve the codestack to be compatible , bug free , portable …. And it is the community that helped doing this ……… Linus is smart but there are lot of smart people who involved in doing this , There are people smarter than Linus too , they're just not very famous and all but they're the one's who have contributed worked over this brilliant piece of software !
can't agree with you~ you're speaking as Linus's boss, not himself. Emoji inventor, Shigetaka Kurita! he's so successful. everybody who uses a digital device uses his emojis. but he hasn't made a dime out of it! you need to have something to support you to live a life where you can indulge yourself before you can pursue such a goal, because it's too lofty for ordinary people
So communist and unauthoritarian- i like it
Is that Jerry from Rick and Morty in real life?

what a waste of time…
No, most of your economy runs on GNU’s userland tools. Every Linux kernel runs GNU, but not every GNU deploy runs Linux
Dafuq? Linux is a small piece of the GNU-Linux composite
This is so superficial it's mind-blowing this got on TED.
It extremely bothers me the way he pronounces Linus
What. A crock of Doo doo
this guy is probably nice and stuff but he says free software just way to often, that just reminds me of stallman
1:23 hahahaha
git commit -as "Linus torvalds left Linux"
I totally agree!
This jabrone didn't mention that the reason Linux is so huge now is because it co-opted all the *nix software from earlier in time.
Wut?
King of bullshitters
The commentary is more entertaining then the talk itself
Quite arrogant.. He is actually a boss may be not a leader.
Linus started Linux but he wrote about 2% of the code. That is a lot relatively speaking; but obviously not the entire code.
How about RMS ?
The only Ted talk that I watched again and again.
Lesson 01: Don't dream big.
Lesson 02: Give it away.
Lesson 03: Don't have a plan.
Lesson 04: You don't always have to be nice.
umm
its pronounced lye-nuhs
In a moment he sounds like Morpheus describing the matrix XD
Who's Leenus?
