Nope. When I first started programming with QBASIC, when I was in my 5th grade, the first thing I did was asked the computer to input something and output it back. It was only when I joined engineering, I heard 'Hello World!' trend. So, back then 'Hello World' was not so common. Trust me.
When i first heard Hello World!, i decided that wouldn't be my first line of code, my first line of code is a simple print //not hello world, and the second is I/O.
hes a programmer not really an IT person. You can argue hes more on the mathematical side than the computer side. and i think debian used to be quite hard to install actually in the 90s.
Lol I can attest to that. A few years ago I tried to install Debian on my laptop. I tried multiple times, until at some point I realised I couldn't access the laptop's EFI setup any more. Just 'poof', the setup utility wasn't there (and still isn't). And all I did that got the machine in that state was run the Debian installer with various settings x)
I'm sorry but no, the Debian installation process will never erase or change your bios settings. You must have made some changes without paying attention.
Well come over to my place and try to find the EFI setup utility on my laptop. I'll have some popcorn and some beer while you do that ;D Using the term "BIOS settings" for "EFI setup utility", as well as insisting I made accidental changes that rendered the EFI setup inaccessible, both hint that you're kind of new to the industry (which I assume isn't the case, looking at your channel) or didn't read my comment carefully enough. No offense, it just comes across this way.
Especially the paid Executives and politicians. they make it sound like its an easy way out to find a job. When in reality, you have to learn to problem solve, use precise algorithims, and discover all types of different confusing terms, that take thousands of hours to become a master at.
@@meltedcheese1908 ...saying "lol write code am easy" is like saying "lol physics am easy". Both are completely retarded statements because the domain you're asserting as "easy" is waaaaay too large to capture at once. Some code is easy to write. Some code is incredibly difficult to write.

Gryppen linux is the kernel. Windows is a destribution which comes with both kernel and other programs which make it easier to use for regular people. Ubuntu is a pretty good linux distribution but windows simply has more programs and games made for it
I'd say he's right in that you can read it like a natural language, i.e. turn the statements into natural language on the fly. But to make sense out of the whole chain of statements is another issue. So depending on the program, it can be about a very complex sequence of statements, or a simple straightforward common and idiomatic one. You would be able to read it like: "Instantiate an object with type T and name it a. Call a's function foo passing it as the first parameter an object made out of type A, that contains the member x which is the number 42, and the member y which is the string bar, and as the second parameter to the function pass an anonymous lambda function which takes..." and so on. But then, making sense out of these natural sentences is a totally different issue, which may or may not be obvious to the reader depending on their familiarity with the idioms and problem domain.
There is, I have seen guys who can read Assembly as if it were f***ing harry potter book. But it is true even if you don't understand 100% of the code, you get at least an idea of what it is doing. The other day I was checking the server responses from the site I'm working on and a family member passed by and thought I was hacking someone. I could read the request and understand everything (no big deal I guess) but for someone who doesn't know it, it looks like gibberish.

Some things are just hard enough to take a lifetime... Donald Knuth has been writing a book about computer programming called "The Art of Computer Programming" since year 1968 and it isn't yet ready either. The first 3904 pages have already been published but the book is still unfinished and it remains to be seen if he'll ever finish the book because he is already 85 years old. The "Volume 4B: Combinatorial Algorithms, Part 2" consisting of 714 pages was published in 2023 so he's still actively working on it. He also has pre-print versions (called "pre-fascicle") of volumes 5A, 5B, 5C, 6A, 7A, 8A, 9B, 12A and 14A publicly available, but he doesn't yet consider those final, if I've understood correctly.
I'm a programmer and I can't type 10 fingers the proper way. Most of the time type with 2 fingers only. Also his keyboard is most likely CM Storm from Cooler Master in this video. I have one and the printing of the function key rows is very similar. I could be wrong though.
@@UltimateAlgorithm I wanted to retrain myself to go from two to full ten finger typing and while it was a pain in the ass for the first two or three weeks it did pay out in the end and I would recommend it to others.
@Shallex gamers usually have their right hand on the mouse, so they only use their left hand for the keyboard while playing games. So your left hand can find the keys faster than your right hand, so you mainly use the left hand to type.
Thank You Linus for Linux. I met Linux RH in 95' I think and liked it straight away. My first code also was in Basic (Atari65XE :-) ) today I do code in Python, nothing special just a Hobby to keep my mind busy, lower level Languages are too high me so I'm really amazed by your work. Thanks again.
If it's really his house and office, I'm really happy. This reminds us all that in the end, it's not the fancy hardware or the big companies. It's only about studying, thinking and writing the damn code.
Not only did he make revolutionary software, he lives like a real software developer. Clicky mechanical keys, messy desk, straight-to-the-point attitude...👌
I wonder why Finland had such prolific programmers in late 80' early 90'. Like the guys of future crew from the old school demo scene. they also ended up making remarkable things.
Could be due to the microprocessor industry and scene blowing up around college campuses (mainly Aalto(TKK) etc) during that time. Finland doesn't have that much of natural resources but the level of science and engineering is top notch. During the 70's, 80's and 90's Nokia and other large tech companies were growing fast and there was a huge need for everything related to those industries. But don't take my word on this, just a guess.
You can only look at one monitor at once, so more than one is pointless. Moving your head to look at another monitor may even be slower than to just have your computer display another virtual screen.
@@wilfreddevries294 yes but a dual monitor setup is REALLY helpful. I use a triple monitor setup, browser, discord or whatever on one, ubuntu vm in another and ssh (termius as client) on the third
Thank you Linus! He just described something I've been thinking recently. People can write pretty/nice code but it doesn't really solve the problem very well. I know devs who focus too much energy on making code pretty and too little energy on engineering a sound solution. I might see some 'ugly procedural code' that actually has an elegant solution. Conversely I might see some 'pretty OOP code' that has a nasty and convoluted solution.
Procedural code can only be an elegant solution for something pretty small, and I can't think of a time where I regretted taking code out into reusable chunks even if at that moment it would be considered unnessasary, there will usually come a point when you will thank your past self for it. But yea just because something is object oriented doesn't automatically raise it above others.
A man worked so hard to make an amazing piece of software, comes another company to make it a nightmare to use and enjoy without digging for solution all the time for unnecessary issues, thank you, Nvidia.
Linus - the best, of the best, of the best. He has changed the world (for the better). Linux has had as much, if not more, of an impact on the world as the internal combustion engine.
@@mathiasfernandesduartecoel6983 and yes yes, he loved Linus when he found out about Linux, he remembered Linus Torvalds and said to him in the streets when he saw him, "I knew you would grow up to be a great little boi"
The server world knows how important he was, and likely still is. Something like 90% of all servers run Linux. It has complete dominance in that segment. Even Microsoft uses some Linux internally, and they literally made the Windows Kernel.
I find it interesting he pronounced his name using the English pronounciation, and not the Swedish or Finnish one. Makes a lot of sense of course, but it's fun to notice these kinds of details and realize the English pronounciation is much better for an interview in English.
I wrote small games on my zx-spectrum and the neighbourhood people, brother, sister and cousins were the guinea pig gamers. The best indicators were when somebody wanted to play longer than the next one in line would accept.
We had all kinds of neat computers in the 80s as well. Had a Commodore 64 which we loved, and of course we had the speech synthesizer program and made it say all kinds of obscene, hilarious things. I work as a software developer now and those obscene things are still with me, just mostly contained to my head these days

I now have some lovely humans in my life as well as a love for computers and computing. Electricity and chemistry has the same attraction for me - tell the stuff to do something and it does so, and if it fails the reason can be found and the experiment redone.
Interesting that, when writing code of any scale it becomes fraught with side effects. That's exactly a model for everyday life.
Some things are just hard enough to take a lifetime...
Donald Knuth has been writing a book about computer programming called "The Art of Computer Programming" since year 1968 and it isn't yet ready either. The first 3904 pages have already been published but the book is still unfinished and it remains to be seen if he'll ever finish the book because he is already 85 years old. The "Volume 4B: Combinatorial Algorithms, Part 2" consisting of 714 pages was published in 2023 so he's still actively working on it.
He also has pre-print versions (called "pre-fascicle") of volumes 5A, 5B, 5C, 6A, 7A, 8A, 9B, 12A and 14A publicly available, but he doesn't yet consider those final, if I've understood correctly.
The pain on his face when he said "it's hard to write"
print("Thank you for linux")
printf("Thank you for Linux");
I'd write it in Linux assembly but I forgot the syscalls for printf lol
i still remember my first BASIC code , 12 years old
10 screen 1
20 print "hello world"
30 goto 30
Pak Linus anda adalah salah satu pahlawan teknologi komputer. Akan selalu dikenang. Linux, android, GIT adalah inspirasi buat kami. Mantap

0:04 I'm surprised he uses a mechanical keyboard.
I'm even more surprised he types with two fingers.
I'm a programmer and I can't type 10 fingers the proper way. Most of the time type with 2 fingers only.
Also his keyboard is most likely CM Storm from Cooler Master in this video. I have one and the printing of the function key rows is very similar. I could be wrong though.
@@UltimateAlgorithm I wanted to retrain myself to go from two to full ten finger typing and while it was a pain in the ass for the first two or three weeks it did pay out in the end and I would recommend it to others.
@Shallex that's what i call the "gamer typing method" :)
@Shallex gamers usually have their right hand on the mouse, so they only use their left hand for the keyboard while playing games. So your left hand can find the keys faster than your right hand, so you mainly use the left hand to type.
@Shallex Same here?
I have been using Linux distributions for 15 years. Thank you Linus! Thank you so much!! Linux made computers fun again.
Without this guy I would have to type this comment on Windows so frankly I owe this guy a lot
Thank You Linus for Linux. I met Linux RH in 95' I think and liked it straight away. My first code also was in Basic (Atari65XE :-) ) today I do code in Python, nothing special just a Hobby to keep my mind busy, lower level Languages are too high me so I'm really amazed by your work.
Thanks again.
How humble of him. Like he’s unaware how much his code rocks earth every minute.
You Sir, are my hero. Thank you for everything.
Nothing but the RESPECT for this master!
Just like me. Love my DELL SK-8115. Keyboard noise when coding is music to my ears.
If it's really his house and office, I'm really happy. This reminds us all that in the end, it's not the fancy hardware or the big companies. It's only about studying, thinking and writing the damn code.
Not only did he make revolutionary software, he lives like a real software developer. Clicky mechanical keys, messy desk, straight-to-the-point attitude...👌
I'm not a programmer. But he's one of my biggest reasons why I work in IT field. I really love linux btw. Still lot to learn 🙏🏻
I wonder why Finland had such prolific programmers in late 80' early 90'. Like the guys of future crew from the old school demo scene. they also ended up making remarkable things.
Could be due to the microprocessor industry and scene blowing up around college campuses (mainly Aalto(TKK) etc) during that time. Finland doesn't have that much of natural resources but the level of science and engineering is top notch. During the 70's, 80's and 90's Nokia and other large tech companies were growing fast and there was a huge need for everything related to those industries. But don't take my word on this, just a guess.
Now Finland main export commodities are Hydraulic Press videos
It's cold, nothing better to do.
@@SuperXRooSHSouless wKwKwKw
You might not like it but this is how messy his desk is.
Martin S he actually cleaned up because he knew Bloomberg was coming.
Your glasses suck and the crap you’re doing will never work
The mess on the table represents the mess in the kernel?
Much truth was said that day...Thank you Linus for all you have done for the computing world...
What a magnificent human! Pure motivation onwards life.
shocking to me that he only uses 1 monitor
Goes to show that you do not need a three-monitor setup with RGB keyboard and a gaming chair to be a great programmer :P
Programmer who nows how can program on tv as monitor
Yes, he only needs one screen for programming. He doesn't need a second screen, because he only executes the kernel code in his head.
You can only look at one monitor at once, so more than one is pointless. Moving your head to look at another monitor may even be slower than to just have your computer display another virtual screen.
@@wilfreddevries294 yes but a dual monitor setup is REALLY helpful. I use a triple monitor setup, browser, discord or whatever on one, ubuntu vm in another and ssh (termius as client) on the third
"If you do it for long, you could be able to read it like any language"-------so true
All of these famous programmers started early. My parents in Poland couldn't even afford a computer when I was a kid.
This video is gold. Thank you!
"It will do what you tell it and nothing more."
*looks over at dog*
Thank you Linus! He just described something I've been thinking recently. People can write pretty/nice code but it doesn't really solve the problem very well. I know devs who focus too much energy on making code pretty and too little energy on engineering a sound solution. I might see some 'ugly procedural code' that actually has an elegant solution. Conversely I might see some 'pretty OOP code' that has a nasty and convoluted solution.
Procedural code can only be an elegant solution for something pretty small, and I can't think of a time where I regretted taking code out into reusable chunks even if at that moment it would be considered unnessasary, there will usually come a point when you will thank your past self for it. But yea just because something is object oriented doesn't automatically raise it above others.
A man worked so hard to make an amazing piece of software, comes another company to make it a nightmare to use and enjoy without digging for solution all the time for unnecessary issues, thank you, Nvidia.
Linus - the best, of the best, of the best. He has changed the world (for the better). Linux has had as much, if not more, of an impact on the world as the internal combustion engine.
I bet it was "Sara is a BITCH", not the best...I mean, that's what I would do at that age.... but I'm anti-social so....
what kind of Dell monitor Linus is using?????????????
If there's nothing I can be thankful for to this man, I'm grateful for git
Very underrated, he deserves much more recognition.
who all were pausing and zooming in to for inspiration ? :D

I took an autism test online because I suspect the same thing and I scored 7/10. 10 being Autistic.
I cringe every time he says that
There's nothing wrong with being autistic.
Bill and Steve, IT Entrepeneur.
Linus, IT Revolutionist.
Devote themsleves to make our world better and better, together with substainable growth.
He inspired me to star programming 5 years ago, now I make a living and teach. He's amazing.
What's the model of the keyboard that's at the beginning of the video?
One of CoolerMaster's tenkeyless keyboards, not sure exactly which one.
+Novantix it's not. A TK has a numpad and no arrow keys while his has no numpad but arrow keys. Try again. It's rather a Rapid, don't you think?
He made Linux. Thanks to him, now I can play CS Go on Linux
Adi Primanda Ginting with cheats right? since VAC doesnt get triggered on Linux, you dont get banned instantly.
hello from the other side... XD
@@RangerFPS I didn't see your reply. Not with cheat sheet. Steam is now working on Linux with quite many games
@@hudabert4074 Hello there
@Mr Snad Man yeah i know, get to my point. most people are using linux to cheat.
Thank you for sharing!
I admire this man so much!!
Thanks Linus for pioneering the operating system of the web, starting the best revision control, and keeping your interest in F.O.S.S.!
One day Ed Sharon saw a little kid crying in the road and said: "Don t cry little child, you ll be the best". It turns out that the child was Linus.
whos ed sharon ?
@@MikeyZeov You didn't read? The man who support Linus! It's true as the earth is flat too!
Edit: (My first rhyme in english).
@@MikeyZeov Ed Sheeran lol
@@mathiasfernandesduartecoel6983 and yes yes, he loved Linus when he found out about Linux, he remembered Linus Torvalds and said to him in the streets when he saw him, "I knew you would grow up to be a great little boi"
He is the guy who won't be given much importance now, but will be praised by the generations to come
The server world knows how important he was, and likely still is. Something like 90% of all servers run Linux. It has complete dominance in that segment. Even Microsoft uses some Linux internally, and they literally made the Windows Kernel.
love his desk
1:11 got punched in the heart when saw Linus using Emacs.
PS: I use vim btw, and I haven't seen Emacs interface before.
I find it interesting he pronounced his name using the English pronounciation, and not the Swedish or Finnish one. Makes a lot of sense of course, but it's fun to notice these kinds of details and realize the English pronounciation is much better for an interview in English.
Also thought it's really weird. For those who don't know, it's pronounced "Lee-nus".
You are using the american version of "realise" 😁😁😁
Thanks Mr. Linus for create great OS. Greeting from Indonesia :)
I have never seen a guy so humble
I wrote small games on my zx-spectrum and the neighbourhood people, brother, sister and cousins were the guinea pig gamers. The best indicators were when somebody wanted to play longer than the next one in line would accept.
CZcams's recommendations:
2015 - no
2016 - no
2017 - no
2018 - no
2019 - no
2020 - why not...
The last line sums it all up
We had all kinds of neat computers in the 80s as well. Had a Commodore 64 which we loved, and of course we had the speech synthesizer program and made it say all kinds of obscene, hilarious things. I work as a software developer now and those obscene things are still with me, just mostly contained to my head these days
This man deserves a Nobel prize
"maybe I'm autistic or borderline" - Linus Torvalds
u are miracle in this path sir...
Such an inspiration, i went to the same junior high as he did
We want Linus for NVidia President !

That short? Is there a full length version of the interview?
I'm training for the LPIC-1 and he's right about the "noise". first I didn't understand coding. But now I do and it's like I'm able to talk another language and it's not noise anymore
0:19 Fortnite players talking about themselves
😂😂😂
And your problem with autistic people?
My first line of code was print("If this is printed this works")
this guy is such a friggin legend!
This person is a living legend
