Andriy UtkinAnybody knows the full interview with younger Linus Torvalds in red t-shirt?
Entrepreneurship | Business | Wealth on Instagram: ""I think from an OS perspective, [Microsoft] just suck, and from a morals perspective, they suck even more." Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, is famous for his blunt honesty. In this interview, he offers a sharp critique of Microsoft's philosophy. While he admits they make some "outstanding" applications, he argues that their core motivation is flawed. According to Torvalds, Microsoft isn't in business to "make the world a better place"—they are in it strictly to make money. This profit-first obsession, he claims, leads to inferior operating systems and morally questionable practices. In contrast, Torvalds built Linux on an open-source model where the code is free, transparent, and improved by a global community for the sake of utility, not just shareholder value. For entrepreneurs, this highlights a critical choice: Are you building a product to extract value, or to create it? Torvalds suggests that when profit becomes the only goal, the product—and the company's soul—eventually suffers.
