Torvalds’ prophecy

The softly spoken Linux prophet, Linus Torvalds has been consulting his bones and concluded that RISC-V might fall into the same development chasm between hardware and software developers seen by Arm and x86.

Much better hardware support 

Linus Torvalds announced today the release of the Linux 6.5 kernel series as a major update with several new features, better hardware support, and other changes.

Unlikely Apple Fanboy of the Year 

Linus Torvalds has praised the Asahi Linux distribution that runs on Apple gear for making Arm-powered computers useful for developers and says he wants an Apple mac now.

We will C what happens next 

Linux has been written in the C programming language for more than 30 years but the last few years have seen a growing momentum to make the Rust programming language Linux's second Linux language.

Mystery solved

Linus Torvalds has squashed an internet rumour that he is Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto.

No, really

PC Magazine has dusted off an old and much mocked headline and claimed that 2021 Is the Year of Linux on the Desktop.

Still not on the desktop but not even Steve Ballmer saw this day coming

On August 25, 1991, Linus Torvalds, then a student at the University of Helsinki in Finland, sent a message to the comp.os.minix newsgroup soliciting feature suggestions for a free Unix-like operating system he was developing as a hobby.

Supported by that great peace-maker and diplomat Linus Torvalds

One does not normally expect to see IT’s Mr Sweary Linus Torvalds taking a diplomatic role, but he seems to be taking such a stance in the case of Paragon.

Strong language and biology lessons used

An anti-vaxer who thought that a Linux kernel topic thread was a good venue to spread a poorly researched conspiracy theory found himself on the receiving end of some words from IT's Mr Sweary, Linus Torvalds.

Well he is getting old

IT's Mr Sweary Linus Torvalds says he is that while he is not pushing for Rust, he is open to it.
