Aalto Talk with Linus Torvalds, hosted by Aalto Center for Entrepreneurship (ACE) in Otaniemi on June 14, 2012. Linus was interviewed by Will Cardwell and followed with a Q&A session with the audience. Enjoy!


When the Prime Penguin talks, people listen. He usually says interesting things and I thought the idle Berserks might find time to watch. It's said he gets pretty spicy about nVidia and Android, possibly ARM, around 49 minutes. :)

Looks good so far...finished.
The highlight:
"People who get offended, should be offended" :lol: I really like his style and he is right most of the time. Always worth listening to +1

Nvidia felt they had to make a press release after Linus harsh words where they state the they do support Linux but they will not do anything about Optimus support.
So they are saying they support Linux and they are doing something else. Dedanna it is time for you favorite nice day message here!
And boy do I agree with Linus (About 48 min in the video) +1

Anyone who doesn't support Nvidia (or anything else, for that matter) or other hardware or software, much less Nvidia themselves in Linux with the Optimus, is more than welcome to this thing, and you're all welcome to use it any time you like. Just grab the link for it, and go. I happen to still be in my photobucket where it resides, from another post. Easy enough to get the link for ya:

I'll even go you one better than that, if you want it.
