th-cam.com/video/zPt_e9Cdk08/w-d-xo.html This is a new HQ rip that I made recently. This has not been compressed at all by me, but I've only deinterlaced it and upscaled it to 1080p. The reason I did the upscale is because the higher the resolution the higher the quality that TH-cam will use for the video in general. Another difference from the old rip is that this rip has a framerate of 50 fps, not 25 fps. This preserves all the motion from the source video. Every step of the ripping process has been done using the lossless FFV1 codec, and the only lossy compression was done by TH-cam's video encoder.
Linux just rocks, it just gets better and better. I don't care if its called free software or open source or whatever all the people who contribute are beautiful and I cannot thank you enough.
I think its some kind of American perception, they have such a fear of socialism without really understanding what socialism actually is. To therm its like a dirty word and in many instances they will even argue against their own interests by becoming sycophants for the super rich. Its a conditioned mentality. Where it comes from I do not know and if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
+MSK Chess If this is really a sincere interest of you, you might enjoy reading "The S Word: A Short History of an American Tradition...Socialism", by John Nichols, a book that goes through the history of socialism in America and how, in recent decades, that has changed so that through things like the McCarthy era and its propaganda, and the Cold War, the word and the communist fear, socialism became a bad word. And you might also be interested in listening to the democrat presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, he considers himself a democratic socialist and he talks about what that means and what that means in the US. You can look for both things online and right here on youtube.
I'm very grateful to +dervish for translating the subtitles to Russian! The subtitle has now been added to the video! Thank you, dervish :) I'm sometimes late to answer messages, and I suspect I don't even receive them sometimes. If any of you have written me about the subtitles here in the comments, I'd appreciate it if you send me a message also. I really appreciate help with translating the subtitles, and I update the subtitles archive each time. Here's the latest archive with the subtitles (incl. Russian): www.dropbox.com/s/ma7jv16cedccd1q/Subtitles_for_The_Code_2001_Story_of_Linux_3.zip?dl=0
Somehow the old link (in the video description) to my upload of all the subtitles has been removed. I have re-uploaded the subtitles to DropBox instead, and also changed the link in the video description. Here's the link: www.dropbox.com/s/8zp7g1fam0ruuqz/Subtitles_for_The_Code_2001_Story_of_Linux_2.zip?dl=0
@subtitles1492 So true. As an old UNIX "weenie" from the early '80s, I'm always shouting, "That is NOT an OS! It's an Operating Environment!". The media thinks a graphical windowing user interface is an "operating system" now... ;-P
German subtitles have been added. Let me know if there's any problem. A big thank you to Christian Fibich, for making this translation :) bitbucket.org/cfib90/
Mihai Nicolae I would add Romanian subtitles if anyone would make the translation. All I need is for someone to download the subtitles (link is in the video description), translate them to Romanian, and send me the SRT file. Then I can add them to the video.
I think Dr. Stallman deserves respect for what he created. Free software may seen as religion for some people, but is a important feature to the whole industry.
+youreale I think that's true. Sometimes developers can be inspired by GNU algorithms to solve technical issues and can use the concepts as a basis for forming their own specific methods that eventually become parts of commercial software. I know of professional console games programmers who often examine free methods in order to get ideas that can lead to solving specific issues they are facing. They do create proprietry code that facilitates the game console's architecture into being in the appropriate states, but nonetheless it is the free community software that can shine a light on awkward issues. In return, they are active members of the Linux community for their part, bringing professional expertise to the supply of free libraries. Fair enough, I reckon. Most successful and industry renouned commercial game developers are, for the large part, actually hobbyist coders anyway... when they are not sucked into and encaged within the abyssal, long, long days of the beta dev testing cycle near the end... Lol!
Richard Stallman's problem to me was that he was/is a very strong activist, but not a very good marketer, which is off-putting to some people, and hurts his message. "Think 'free speech', not 'free beer'" is an excellent way to put it. Too bad that he didn't do that way back when. His fervency kind of got in the way. Decades ago, we referred to Linux, and GNU-Linux... Now, the "distros" are involved (RedHat, Debian, Ubuntu, etc.), where you're paying for the packaging/support from the commercial sources, but, it's still Linux...
At the time Linux came out, it wasn't a decision to overthrow Microsoft or anyone else. Linus had what was basically a hobby project he created to fill a void that he had. Without further work, it would not be of any marketable value and would not be able to compete against established operating systems already in existence. Had the internet not come out when it did, it would not have gotten the exposure and support that it did and would never have developed into what it is today. Open source has its weak points but without open source, there wouldn't be a free exchange of ideas that allow things to be developed and created. Love it or hate it but linux has made the world a better place for its being created.
Linux is a family of open-source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged as a Linux distribution (distro), which includes the kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses and recommends the name "GNU/Linux" to emphasize the use and importance of GNU software in many distributions, causing some controversy.
Parents computer can barely run windows xp. It is old and outdated. I slapped Ubuntu on it, runs faster then expected, almost butter smooth, and it's great for browsing the web and running open office. Thanks Linus!
I have been using Arch Linux for a few months now, and I am very proud to be a part of this community. This documentary, though, has got to be one of the funniest things I've ever seen! The singing, the footage they chose, the strange ominous tone... perfect.
I switched to Linux Mint 3 years ago. The 2 major updates that makes Linux ready for mainstream desktop is that they fixed the video driver crashing issue with installing new graphics cards and Linux Kernels now have incremental updates.
I am not a computer science major and I do not know much about computer softwares, I use computers to solve certain computational needs as a Biomedical Engineer. I love what linux stands for and have been using ubuntu for the past couple of years, still a long way to go. Was a nightmare initially shifting from windows to Linux to be really honest, but now I don't see any reason whatsoever to use any other platform but linux. A big thanks to linux for solving needs of students and society in a very unorthodox non-commercial way. Excellent documentary too, neatly narrated and the content is well compiled. I also love the message Linus gives to Indians as well. Most of the able indian programmers in the past had been looking for a direction or an employment and he says, 'identify your local problems and built your own solutions, don't listen to me'. Priceless.
Many thanks to romul for contributing an Italian translation of the subtitle! I also found a Romanian subtitle on opensubtitles.org, and added that one as well. So now we have two extra subtitle languages. Here's the latest subtitle archive link: www.dropbox.com/s/dxkgovnqc3h10bi/Subtitles_for_The_Code_2001_Story_of_Linux_5.zip?dl=0
Having used Ubuntu since 2013, and Android since 2015, I have never looked back! Linus and co. are so underrated in the computing world. Also watched this video on 28th Dec - happy birthday Linus! 😉
What an amazing documentary .... I'm a Linux user and proud to know that there were so many hard working and caring peoples behind its development .... This is a highly recommended video and should be viewed by every computer geek in the world .... Two thumbs up !!!!!!'
+Matthew Rupert Do you think Richard Stallman is jealous? I think he's frustrated with attention being directed away from the free software philosophy. If everyone goes around using Linux distros, not knowing large parts of them are actually the GNU system, then no one will look at the philosophy behind it. He's idealistic, and that apparently is annoying to many people (you included). But remember, without his idealism free software, GNU, and even Linux _wouldn't exist_. Linux is released under a _GNU_ license. I don't want any RMS bashing in the comments for this video. In fact, I wish I had telekinetic abilities just so I could make this video unloadable to hateful and ignorant people. RMS is a fucking hero, and kissing the ground he walks on is more appropriate than the mean comments people throw around. He gave up his whole career to make GNU possible, and now it's done, and you should be _fucking happy_.
Adam N. Well, let's face it... it IS fun to poke at RMS and his cave man beard or viking hair style, and such. That said, anyone seriously attacking the guy is either ignorant or an immoral pile of shit who should be locked up to protect the rest of us.
Chuck Underhill How ironic, you've proven how ignorant and stupid you are if you disagree with Stallman on this topic. Keep your "opinions" to music and art where they belong--there are well established philosophical principles in this field which left opinion behind centuries ago. Either you're on the side of freedom, or you're a criminal opponent of freedom. There is no "opinion" on the matter. No opinion can justify aggression or tyranny, sorry.
I will say this... And this is one thing that I really like about Linux and why I am slowly coming more and more around to the concept and becoming even more curious about it. This is where Linux has helped me. My parents recently purchased two new Windows 10 PCs to replace an old, failing virus-laden Windows 7 laptop. Now, at this time I had (and still have) a somewhat newer laptop that originally had Windows 7 and has since been upgraded twice to where it now runs Windows 10 as well, however, I felt it a shame to see their old laptop go to waste. Being the sort of curious-type that I am, I decided that I wanted to fix my parent's old system and bring it back to life. I had been curious for a while about Linux and so decided to go that route. Best... Decision... Ever. I liked the fact that Linux was free (I am not made of money) and I was also impressed with just how easy it was to download and install. That old PC is no longer virus-laden, nor is it anywhere close to failing anymore. Yes, it is a bit of a learning curve but that just makes me even more excited about learning Linux. Best thing? This formally 'old, failing' system is now FASTER than my Windows 10 PC. Seriously. My original plan was to use the Linux PC for gaming and experimentation and my Windows 10 PC for the 'serious' stuff... However, I now find myself using the Linux PC (remember, this was the old, failing system that my parents were going to throw away) for pretty much EVERYTHING now due to just how well it performs now. I hate to say it, but, my former 'pride and joy', my Windows 10 PC, I now just pretty much keep around as a loaner for my close friends and co-workers who find themselves in temporary need of a PC. I know... it's kinda sad, really, but it's true. My Linux system runs circles around it now and I just kinda don't like using the Windows 10 PC anymore... It's just getting too slow and too glitchy. All in all, side by side... Linux is definitely winning for me. Best way I've found so far to breathe new life into an old system... :)
+Christopher Althouse This was me 2 years ago. I plan to play around with the BSDs someday, which are purportedly even more stable than Linux, after I've level upped my knowledge of the command line, Unix filesystem and basic system administration skills even more.
@@hetaeramancer Well Linus isn't all knowing. Surely C++ has its own problem.. although many of which could be solved by simply breaking ABI compatibility (unfortunately the committee isn't quite willing to do so). Many of C++'s problems are solved quite well by Rust. C is very far from being a good language as is, the lack of templates, RAII, proper RTTI, type deduction, constexpr contexts, etc is just a hard facepalm
@@antagonizingusername Java is just a messy language, the performance of the JVM is quite impressive considering the overhead of interpreting bytecode in comparison to machine code. And the JDK is quite handy working with. People who tend to bash java generally don't know anything about the language or ecosystem at all.
@@stdrum-nb6qr the name is: Southbound Vertigo Parkway, it's part of an album called "Kernel - Ballad Of Linus Torvalds" You can check it here: www.discogs.com/Kernel-Ballad-Of-Linus-Torvalds/release/659164 also the song in youtube: th-cam.com/video/pe7k4BQWAPc/w-d-xo.html I hope it can help. Enjoy!
It’s even further today! I have Manjaro now and I absolutely love it. The only thing I keep windows for is gaming. I’m thinking about switching to the streamlined gaming one, since I don’t use it for anything else. I just can’t remember what it’s called 😂 I haven’t booted into windows in months.
Thanks for posting this video. I am new to Linux and I now appreciate it more after having watched your video. I thought the young person added much to the enjoyment of the video and don't understand the haters.
@FckU Ffo You are free to translate the subtitles to Russian. I just want to remind you that there are NO RUSSIAN subtitles for this on the entire Internet, so unless I'm Russian (I'm not), exactly how would I be able to provide them? Create them, pm me and I'll add them to the video.
+Paul Langton-Rogers I agree! I was surprised to see that not one person tried to contribute since I uploaded the video o.O At least that's what it looks like, since I've gotten zero private messages. I'd be happy if someone made Russian, or Chinese subtitles, or maybe Hindi :)
The documentary maker needed to identify their speakers at least when they first speak on camera. I only identified Richard Stallman of the Open Software Foundation at the beginning talking about a "recipe" because I already knew who he was.
They do that on the DVD using the subtitles, and I had originally added those as notifications, but TH-cam removed support for that feature or something. I can't really remember. It was a while ago.
You can see Richard Stallman dancing (it is a Turkish folk dance we call in Turkish "Halay" group of people playing it together in weddings mostly) in 30:40, the song that is playing in background is "Lambaya Püf De"(Turn the Lights Off). I'm writing this in case you might want to know or interested ;) and I am big fan of Richard Stallman. GNU and Linux forever!
Please read here more: www.imdb.com/title/tt0315417/ 80% of staff is Finnish so ? And it is a co-production of YLE 2 TV which is a Finnish national TV. Arte was with them. But you're right this was a multi national production but comes from Finland. The accent is Finnish. I come from Finland so I can hear it soooo clearly.
Thank you, Chris! I really wanted to make this documentary available to as many as possible, and since I knew how to get hold of a good copy and how to create / edit subtitles, it was a natural calling :) I also appreciate the help I've gotten. The Russian and German subs were added by other people, and I'm happy to add whatever language is missing if people are willing to create the translation! Take care!
For the Turkish subtitle: sed -i -e 's/Ý/İ/g' -e 's/ý/ı/g' -e 's/ð/ğ/g' -e 's/Ð/Ğ/g' -e 's/þ/ş/g' -e 's/Þ/Ş/g' The subtitle is in iso-8859-1 and should be in utf-8 or iso-8859-9
+Arda Ünlü No problem. Thanks for the command! The subtitle was in iso-8859-1 when I first downloaded it, but I converted all subtitles to utf-8. So the error was already there, but now it's fixed!
"Linux will become obsolete one day; its just a matter of when... In 50 years the OS that's best at the time will be able to take advantage of the source base that Linux had." 2024: more than 96% of the top one million web servers run on Linux. and most AIs are linux based.
I already have Portuguese subtitles in this video, but if you want you could take a look at them, if there are any errors or anything missing? I don't know what state they're in, because I can't read Portuguese. You could compare them to the English subtitles. I'd be very grateful, thanks! :) Here's a download link for all the subtitles: www.filedropper.com/subtitlesforthecode2001storyoflinux3
I disagree with the comment at 2:25 that "open source does not mix smoothly with the concept of the free market economy..." There is no real conflict, although there are some court cases which happen anytime human beings interact. The "free market" includes many things such as private charity, helping your neighbor, etc. etc. The opposite of the "free market" is the "statist economy" or "government planned economy". Later in the video they point out that Linux code writers DO get a "return" for their time and effort. If Linux is not "free market" then it can only be one thing...a government run or financed project which it is not. Linux has sometimes been labeled "communist". Nothing could be further from the truth. No linux code has been written at gun point. No linux code has been written under threat of fine or imprisonment (assuming that the rights of others are not in question). Again at 50:00 a comment is made about the "transfer of wealth being socialism..." when, in fact, what is being described is a free, voluntary transfer (or 'exchange')...not using the coercion required under socialism. If it is voluntary then it is free...not "socialistic".
Thanks! I came here to make the same point. The main philosophy behind libertarianism is the freedom from coercion. Government exists solely to coerce, so naturally we want as little of that as possible-- only enough to deter and remedy the situation when others in society wrongfully try to coerce others. Instead, libertarians prefer voluntary association, charitable donation, mutually beneficial contracts, and all other sorts of things that provide the structure for consensual cooperation rather than coercion. As you said, none of the FOSS contributors are forced to participate. They do so voluntarily, and they are free to stop doing so at any time. It's about as non-coercive as it can get, and that makes it very libertarian, and very much at odds with the reality of socialism or communism (whose proponents like to pretend coercion isn't part of it, but they have never existed without it). It's not called "redistribution of wealth" when a person voluntarily gives money to someone who is less fortunate. Redistribution occurs when money (or other resources) are taken forcibly from one group and given to another. Marxist theory is quite clear that this is a violent act; it speaks of revolutionary overthrow of the "Bourgeoisie" and a "dictatorship of the Proletariat." There's no pretense of voluntary exchange or peacefulness in the process until the mythical (and impossible) end stage where true communism is achieved and the state, now obsolete, withers away. I know the socialists want so badly to have an example of their pet philosophy working, but there just aren't any.
Not too far off the mark. If you look at the old Icelandic religion it's related to what we had in the North way back when. The vikings went all over the place. So there's some relation between Scandinavia and Iceland for sure.
Es de gan agrado ver que este tipo de videos con información tan rica tengan subtítulos en español, la población latina y española que consume videos es muy grande, si quisieran mas vistas visitas y suscripciones deberían siempre colocar sus en español
Open-source/free software may be "socialistic" but it is NOT "socialism", in the political sense. Everyone is free to choose whether they use or develop in the open-source community, it is voluntary participation, as it should be. Socialism would be saying that everyone MUST share, no exceptions, if not you will be fined/jailed/etc. A very LARGE distinction. Socialism (government/legal or authoritarian force) is not a form of freedom. People that claim open-source is socialism in action is pushing their political agenda.
Contrary to the claim one person made in the video, any libertarian I am aware of would think of the GPL and linux as the flowering of liberty and capitalism, where the private sector triumphs over government control, and a refutation of the dismal predictions of socialists.
Interesting they say Linux conflict with the free market. Firstly we have never had a truly free market and secondly according to economic theory, the true value of something will fall to its labour value, in other words, if it takes less than 1ms to copy a file and no human effort then the free market would dictate that product would cost basically nothing. Linux seems to play well with the anarcho-capitalist movement.
This is brilliant. I love that it was made in 2001 and that it predicts that at some point Linux will be everywhere, on your toaster and on your phone. Phone? Yup! Hello there Android. Toaster? not yet. But who can say. And I love that Linus says there will be a next operating system that is Not Linux, but will probably be open source. Maybe it will run on some quantum/optical/spinfoo hybrid tech that we'll invent in the 2030s.
Miguel de lcaza who is also in the documentary started Gnome, Mono and Xamarin. He now works at Microsoft as a Distinguished Engineer. Microsoft has now open sourced .NET and Xamarin :)
I watched this documentary in the early 2000s, and the part at 5:05 caught my attention from the very first time I watched it. I have been influenced by what Linus said ever since, as It made me realise that, I too prefer email, and written, delayed communication in general, where I have some time to think of the answer before replying. Even with this very message; I wrote it, left it, thought about it a bit more, came back, altered it a bit, and then sent it. This thought process and approach is the direct result of what Linus said at 5:05. It is interesting how something relatively minor you may say can influence someone's whole communication style somewhere in the world.
Great but....intellectual property rights were made up by governments in the 19th century, has nothing to do with the free market (voluntary exchange). Open source code is actually one of the best examples of the free and decentralized market I can think of.
What this man does NOT or refuses to understand is that some projects require a tremendous amount of resources. And none of those projects would ever take place without some reassurance that the people that put in the resources can get it back.
i think people should see the background of this .. this is not about stupids political system models . this is about an idea that works , a free software that you can change it as you want , you can give ideas and work as one . when things are meant to be for work or is your work or occupation it might be results as windows and when you work on something that is your passion or hobby you have positive results as GNU/Linux , we should be grateful to this men instead of being haters about their ideas.
Love Linux. Apparently its full potential is still not being realized, because of the shorted thinking that, anything that costs has value. Although I think that Linux is invaluable and with Ubuntu 14.1 and the upcoming 15.04 flavors, consumer choices would definitely move in a different direction...
***** The Linux kernel is released under GPL, so it will never cost money. Breaking the license is illegal, so even Linus Torvalds can't do it. Do you really prefer Linux to be used only by geeks? It has a ton of other possible uses, where Windows currently takes its place. Look around you, all public computers, all ATMs, cash registers etc are Windows. They shouldn't be, because Windows is a desktop OS, and not made to run ATMs. Linux can be reshaped to suit any use, but Windows can't. All we're doing by keeping Linux a "niche" is letting Windows unfairly take its place.
Adam N. "The Linux kernel is released under GPL, so it will never cost money." Linux-based systems are sold all the time. You can go and buy many of the distributions available. The GPL just makes it so that you have to give the users the same freedoms you were given, including the one that lets you distribute it. You can sell it, but when someone buys it they are able to share it around.
Zack Wynne I know they sell Linux systems. But if you know what the GPL means, you'd also know they can't sell GPL'd software without also offering it for free, usually in source code format. Most "commercial" distributions also have a free alternative. Red Hat has Fedora, SUSE has openSUSE etc. Free as in freedom, not as in free beer. Still, freedom usually results in 'for free', even if that's not obligatory.
the crazy thing about Linux now a days Valve is making a gaming handheld that runs on Linux. Linux has dotnet and Microsoft has even made a Linux Distro Windows now has support for Linux through WSL. at the time of writing this comment Desktop market share for Linux is at 2.43% and Steam is making Linux a strong gaming option for people. think it was kind of rough for Linux in the early days because Microsoft was trying to make sure they're products won't work on Linux and Linux wasn't the most friendly system to use in the early days. now we have so many options for Linux. Linux can do virtualization of Windows really well with hardware being passed to the Windows VM. Linux can be a type 1 hypervisor. I think its great and Linux has proven that it can get better with time I think in the end Linux will take over for Microsoft as a development/Desktop platform its only a matter of time
on the first comment I couldn't stop my self to stop to think on the Coca-cola recipe... or the Vulcanized Rubber made by charles goodyear... so if devoted my life to get some recipe I could not get any revenue from it? medicine?... the world is not people happily sharing recipes of food... even in the food market some recipes remain with his creators... KFC chicken share his recipes!?!?
Thiago Racca It's true that the economy gives no incentive for people to share, but instead of accepting a shitty deal maybe we should change our attitude? Maybe we should admit that our system is dysfunctional, when we see that basic goodness is hampered by it. Sharing is caring, and everyone knows that. Look at a small child, and you can see that it's natural for them to share. It should be for us, as well. I can understand that physical goods can't be shared freely when resources are limited. But information doesn't work like that, and the way we treat it is unnatural and has no basis in reality. We act like information is a scarcity, as if it somehow becomes less if it's copied. If I have an idea and I share it with you, that doesn't mean I lose the idea, because information can be duplicated easily. If you realized most of the Internet, and most of your electronic appliances runs on free software, maybe you wouldn't be so critical of the idea.
Adam N. I'm a big fan of linux I run linux daily on my web servers, And I am also a big fan of open source... I just dislike the arguments of richard stallman on free software... how is free if I use some of stuff I am obligated to do any stuff Free need to be free only this In terms of open source and Licensing I am much more a fan of the MIT License than of GPL or any other in same aspects.. maybe the pizza recipe is not a big deal share the recipe but the coca-cola recipe is... let me choose what I can give and what not don't get me wrong linus trovalds is one of my heroes rs but just like bill gates and steve jobs... In my country people are doing generic drugs supporting by goverment... so the recipe of the medicine can't be patented.. this mean the all drugs developed in my country stoped just because people can't gain money of drug market anymore... I just want say if we want to something is free, its mean be really free like the MIT license not in GPL.... I Intentionally call linux Linux not GNU/Linux because this arguments of stallman
Thiago Racca I understand your argument, and I'm aware that you're far from alone in thinking this. However, I don't find the freedom to be greedy and selfish, to be actual freedom. So, the flexibility you perceive in for example the MIT or BSD license may not actually result in more freedom. Is the freedom for authors to restrict users the same thing as freedom for everyone? I understand that you find the GPL license to be forcing its users to share, but I'm more fascinated by the fact that people actually have to be forced to share. It seems to be the only way to make people play nice, and that worries me, to be honest. About the drug market. If they stopped making their patented drugs, we wouldn't lose much. Look around you, and ask yourself if we're actually healthier because of their "medicines". Aren't you worried about their motives to make money on sick people? These companies are like any company, driven by profit. Profit and health care is a very bad combination, anyway.
Adam N. In my personal philosophy I am more inclined to libertarianism and freedom, and I get interested in this through Linux... I never liked to be a hostage of microsoft, but either way I don't want to be slave of GPL also... And now is very strange feel like a slave on either sides... Today I use a bunch of technologies from different companies like google,apple,microsoft all together with open source I don't know to me this is freedom.. when I still able to choose what I can do I think is free enough About the drugs currently my health depends only of my own DNA.. I doesn't have yet any big issues with my health.. but if I get sick I don't see any problems in pay for health in fact I save a little money for that cause we never know... Cause the other option is the people who could have no motivation to save me.... And in the ultimate end I completely loose control of my own life and health cause if is not with money how can I control my chances to stay alive... ultimately I will deliver my life to someone who is not motivated to save me by any means... I really want people greedy and selfish to save my life in exchange of my money because this way I can trust that I will be saved because this people want money from another people too and they want a reputation...
Thiago Racca You obviously haven't thought through the argument you presented all that much, or if you have then you need to again. If you watched anything on the Venus Project you'd see that your argument completely falls apart. First off, people aren't sharing Coke or KFC recipes because our current capitalistic and monetary system creates scarcity and forces everyone to compete against one another for resources. If we simply recognized that we all need certain resources and decided to effectively manage the earths resources and cooperate we'd have access to anything we wanted, there would be no competition and we would be unified in a goal of cooperating and working to achieve the best, most efficient, etc., of everything. To prove how idiotic your argument is: you say you want your doctors and medical care completely driven by money? Ok, well then I'll pay whatever price necessary to ensure that you never receive any medical care whatsoever, that doctors kill all your children, and that you surgically get neutered so that you never spread these same idiotic genes that actually think all medical decisions should be financially driven... (because medical care driven SOLELY by a monetary basis has no concern for ethics)
Wow, this video needs WAAYYYYY more views. I'm surprised it hasn't hit over a million yet. :/ ...unless people open sourced it to different channels and websites :-)
I like, Linux but the only winners are the hardware manufacturer. sell a cellphone with a Linux type OS on it. people will have to pay for the cellphone. but the cellphone manufacturer will not have to pay for the OS. we pay for the hardware, manufacturers save money. the software industry is killed off.
shreyans jain nope, I don't mean the small team at google. I mean the hundreds of programmer that contributed to make linux, and got nothing in return.
What LINUX and its predecessor, UNIX, need is for the Bourne Shell be given the bum's rush, C-Shell exiled to the C-Shore and the Korn-Shell cut, and a replacement created that is far more elegant, easy to understand and easy to port to multiple spoken languages, and the awkward and rather cryptic utilities like awk and grep and others replaced. The commonly popular scripting languages can be used as models for its creation. Constructs for providing the piping of processes could use the communication file structure of the Dartmouth University timesharing system of the late 1970's.
***** Criticizing Apple is a taboo? o.O Since when? :))) Ever since they installed those anti-suicide nets on their factories? :)) "users, individually or collectively, are free to do what they want with it - this includes the freedom to redistribute the software free of charge, or to sell it (or related services such as support or warranty) for profit." The difference between freedom and free beer is that I am allowed to sell my code even if it's under GPL. Think of it in terms of books. Selling books is totally normal - because they cost resources. Selling the ideas conveyed in books is normal too - if anyone wants to buy your ideas (maybe someone wants to pay the author to give a speech on the book or explain it in more depth?). But trying to CONTROL IDEAS? To stop others from using your ideas? That's just plain selfish and evil and shouldn't be accepted by the society at large! Would you punish a kindergarden kid for trying to draw mickey mouse? But Disney would, if they could.
Adam N ,Thanks to you for the video . It's a very informative documentary video.And thanks to Richard Stallman for the noble sacrafice of profits for the sake of principals.
Thank you for watching, and I'm glad you enjoyed it :) Let's give a big thanks to the director as well, Hannu Puttonen! Also thank you Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds, and countless others!

well, without his work and GNU, Linux would not have been a "complete" operating system environment (at least not for some time later ). If/when it finally did, would it all still be free? Would it have taken off in the same way? Would it have been too late? Even without all the GNU utilities (which still haven't been replaced), the kernel itself was and still is compiled with GNU's compiler, so Linus would have had to create his own or submit to whatever rules some other compiler holds over software created with it. Luckily, GCC (and the linux kernel itself) used what could be Stallman's greatest legacy, the GPL license. Most people who want to bash RMS completely do not realize how HUGE of a role the GCC compiler (most probably don't know what a compiler is) and the GPL had/have in this story (along with most other open source projects from past, present, and future). Not to mention the dozens of crucial utilities GNU provides for most Linux systems. Most of the power with linux comes from the command line. Most of the power behind the command line comes from the use/combined use of many GNU utilities.

This is a new HQ rip that I made recently. This has not been compressed at all by me, but I've only deinterlaced it and upscaled it to 1080p. The reason I did the upscale is because the higher the resolution the higher the quality that TH-cam will use for the video in general. Another difference from the old rip is that this rip has a framerate of 50 fps, not 25 fps. This preserves all the motion from the source video. Every step of the ripping process has been done using the lossless FFV1 codec, and the only lossy compression was done by TH-cam's video encoder.
Linux just rocks, it just gets better and better. I don't care if its called free software or open source or whatever all the people who contribute are beautiful and I cannot thank you enough.
I think its some kind of American perception, they have such a fear of socialism without really understanding what socialism actually is. To therm its like a dirty word and in many instances they will even argue against their own interests by becoming sycophants for the super rich. Its a conditioned mentality. Where it comes from I do not know and if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
+MSK Chess If this is really a sincere interest of you, you might enjoy reading "The S Word: A Short History of an American Tradition...Socialism", by John Nichols, a book that goes through the history of socialism in America and how, in recent decades, that has changed so that through things like the McCarthy era and its propaganda, and the Cold War, the word and the communist fear, socialism became a bad word. And you might also be interested in listening to the democrat presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, he considers himself a democratic socialist and he talks about what that means and what that means in the US. You can look for both things online and right here on youtube.

I think Dr. Stallman deserves respect for what he created. Free software may seen as religion for some people, but is a important feature to the whole industry.
+youreale
I think that's true. Sometimes developers can be inspired by GNU algorithms to solve technical issues and can use the concepts as a basis for forming their own specific methods that eventually become parts of commercial software.
I know of professional console games programmers who often examine free methods in order to get ideas that can lead to solving specific issues they are facing. They do create proprietry code that facilitates the game console's architecture into being in the appropriate states, but nonetheless it is the free community software that can shine a light on awkward issues. In return, they are active members of the Linux community for their part, bringing professional expertise to the supply of free libraries. Fair enough, I reckon.
Most successful and industry renouned commercial game developers are, for the large part, actually hobbyist coders anyway... when they are not sucked into and encaged within the abyssal, long, long days of the beta dev testing cycle near the end... Lol!
Richard Stallman's problem to me was that he was/is a very strong activist, but not a very good marketer, which is off-putting to some people, and hurts his message.
"Think 'free speech', not 'free beer'" is an excellent way to put it. Too bad that he didn't do that way back when. His fervency kind of got in the way.
Decades ago, we referred to Linux, and GNU-Linux... Now, the "distros" are involved (RedHat, Debian, Ubuntu, etc.), where you're paying for the packaging/support from the commercial sources, but, it's still Linux...
He's awesome but his movement is so shockingly autistic that is doesn't translate to reality.
@@igorschmidlapp6987there's no "was" yet, he's still alive and working on it afaik
Stallman's legacy is mixed, and it's difficult to reconcile his contributions with the piece of shit that he's been revealed to be.
At the time Linux came out, it wasn't a decision to overthrow Microsoft or anyone else. Linus had what was basically a hobby project he created to fill a void that he had. Without further work, it would not be of any marketable value and would not be able to compete against established operating systems already in existence. Had the internet not come out when it did, it would not have gotten the exposure and support that it did and would never have developed into what it is today. Open source has its weak points but without open source, there wouldn't be a free exchange of ideas that allow things to be developed and created. Love it or hate it but linux has made the world a better place for its being created.
Epic documentary. Changed my view on this matter. Cheers!
Linux is a family of open-source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds.
Linux is typically packaged as a Linux distribution (distro), which includes the kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project.
Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses and recommends the name "GNU/Linux" to emphasize the use and importance of GNU software in many distributions, causing some controversy.
Parents computer can barely run windows xp. It is old and outdated. I slapped Ubuntu on it, runs faster then expected, almost butter smooth, and it's great for browsing the web and running open office. Thanks Linus!
You might like to consider thanking Richard Stallman also, as you can't do much with just a kernel. :)
Linux is so powerful, I use just Windows to can have a big compatiblity (Wine bugs) on PE exutable file (exe). Else, I use Linux.

I have been using Arch Linux for a few months now, and I am very proud to be a part of this community. This documentary, though, has got to be one of the funniest things I've ever seen! The singing, the footage they chose, the strange ominous tone... perfect.
when i finish growing my beard I'm gonna write some code
That's not how it works, it grows and greys the more you write.
I switched to Linux Mint 3 years ago. The 2 major updates that makes Linux ready for mainstream desktop is that they fixed the video driver crashing issue with installing new graphics cards and Linux Kernels now have incremental updates.
I am not a computer science major and I do not know much about computer softwares, I use computers to solve certain computational needs as a Biomedical Engineer.
I love what linux stands for and have been using ubuntu for the past couple of years, still a long way to go. Was a nightmare initially shifting from windows to Linux to be really honest, but now I don't see any reason whatsoever to use any other platform but linux. A big thanks to linux for solving needs of students and society in a very unorthodox non-commercial way. Excellent documentary too, neatly narrated and the content is well compiled.
I also love the message Linus gives to Indians as well. Most of the able indian programmers in the past had been looking for a direction or an employment and he says, 'identify your local problems and built your own solutions, don't listen to me'. Priceless.
Many thanks to romul for contributing an Italian translation of the subtitle! I also found a Romanian subtitle on opensubtitles.org, and added that one as well. So now we have two extra subtitle languages.

Do you think Richard Stallman is jealous? I think he's frustrated with attention being directed away from the free software philosophy. If everyone goes around using Linux distros, not knowing large parts of them are actually the GNU system, then no one will look at the philosophy behind it. He's idealistic, and that apparently is annoying to many people (you included). But remember, without his idealism free software, GNU, and even Linux _wouldn't exist_. Linux is released under a _GNU_ license. I don't want any RMS bashing in the comments for this video. In fact, I wish I had telekinetic abilities just so I could make this video unloadable to hateful and ignorant people.
RMS is a fucking hero, and kissing the ground he walks on is more appropriate than the mean comments people throw around. He gave up his whole career to make GNU possible, and now it's done, and you should be _fucking happy_.
Adam N. Well, let's face it... it IS fun to poke at RMS and his cave man beard or viking hair style, and such.
That said, anyone seriously attacking the guy is either ignorant or an immoral pile of shit who should be locked up to protect the rest of us.
garoad Disagreeing with someone isn't ignorant, nor immoral. Only you are for stating such a stupid comment.
Chuck Underhill How ironic, you've proven how ignorant and stupid you are if you disagree with Stallman on this topic. Keep your "opinions" to music and art where they belong--there are well established philosophical principles in this field which left opinion behind centuries ago. Either you're on the side of freedom, or you're a criminal opponent of freedom. There is no "opinion" on the matter. No opinion can justify aggression or tyranny, sorry.
Adam N. None of the GNU system is inside Linux. Distributions may use it, however, Linux itself doesn't.
Adam N. agreed
I am from Finland. I remember I saw this documentary on TV when it was aired first time 19 years ago.
I will say this... And this is one thing that I really like about Linux and why I am slowly coming more and more around to the concept and becoming even more curious about it.
This is where Linux has helped me.
My parents recently purchased two new Windows 10 PCs to replace an old, failing virus-laden Windows 7 laptop. Now, at this time I had (and still have) a somewhat newer laptop that originally had Windows 7 and has since been upgraded twice to where it now runs Windows 10 as well, however, I felt it a shame to see their old laptop go to waste. Being the sort of curious-type that I am, I decided that I wanted to fix my parent's old system and bring it back to life. I had been curious for a while about Linux and so decided to go that route.
Best... Decision... Ever.
I liked the fact that Linux was free (I am not made of money) and I was also impressed with just how easy it was to download and install. That old PC is no longer virus-laden, nor is it anywhere close to failing anymore. Yes, it is a bit of a learning curve but that just makes me even more excited about learning Linux.
Best thing? This formally 'old, failing' system is now FASTER than my Windows 10 PC. Seriously. My original plan was to use the Linux PC for gaming and experimentation and my Windows 10 PC for the 'serious' stuff... However, I now find myself using the Linux PC (remember, this was the old, failing system that my parents were going to throw away) for pretty much EVERYTHING now due to just how well it performs now.
I hate to say it, but, my former 'pride and joy', my Windows 10 PC, I now just pretty much keep around as a loaner for my close friends and co-workers who find themselves in temporary need of a PC. I know... it's kinda sad, really, but it's true. My Linux system runs circles around it now and I just kinda don't like using the Windows 10 PC anymore... It's just getting too slow and too glitchy.
All in all, side by side... Linux is definitely winning for me.
Best way I've found so far to breathe new life into an old system... :)
+Christopher Althouse This was me 2 years ago. I plan to play around with the BSDs someday, which are purportedly even more stable than Linux, after I've level upped my knowledge of the command line, Unix filesystem and basic system administration skills even more.
I'd recommend Kubuntu.
The GUI can be customised to be made to look like Windows.
You could have just PIRATED a copy of Windows 7 and reinstalled the system and it would be malware free.
Insert name here Sure... STEAL software... Great idea NOT!
+Christopher Althouse Why are you afraid the internet police will get you ?
I picked up from my neighbor's trash all the equipment I needed to setup the latest version of LINUX.
With it, I can code C/C++. python, JAVA etc...
Linus said C++ is horrible and C++ programmers are dumb
JAVA sucks too
@@hetaeramancer Well Linus isn't all knowing. Surely C++ has its own problem.. although many of which could be solved by simply breaking ABI compatibility (unfortunately the committee isn't quite willing to do so). Many of C++'s problems are solved quite well by Rust. C is very far from being a good language as is, the lack of templates, RAII, proper RTTI, type deduction, constexpr contexts, etc is just a hard facepalm
@@antagonizingusername Java is just a messy language, the performance of the JVM is quite impressive considering the overhead of interpreting bytecode in comparison to machine code. And the JDK is quite handy working with. People who tend to bash java generally don't know anything about the language or ecosystem at all.
The "Prodigy" music-video style sequence with Linus driving a convertible in California, beginning at 25:23, is priceless.
which song is that?

You are free to translate the subtitles to Russian. I just want to remind you that there are NO RUSSIAN subtitles for this on the entire Internet, so unless I'm Russian (I'm not), exactly how would I be able to provide them? Create them, pm me and I'll add them to the video.

I agree! I was surprised to see that not one person tried to contribute since I uploaded the video o.O At least that's what it looks like, since I've gotten zero private messages.

+Adam N. a
Do you still need Hindi translators? I'm an indian who would happily try to ccontribute, The least I can give to the linux community at this moment
The documentary maker needed to identify their speakers at least when they first speak on camera. I only identified Richard Stallman of the Open Software Foundation at the beginning talking about a "recipe" because I already knew who he was.
They do that on the DVD using the subtitles, and I had originally added those as notifications, but TH-cam removed support for that feature or something. I can't really remember. It was a while ago.
This is from 2001... I would love to watch an updated version with Linux use in modern era and development after mobile and internet break out.
From 2001? You looking to update your HAL9000? ;-P
You can see Richard Stallman dancing (it is a Turkish folk dance we call in Turkish "Halay" group of people playing it together in weddings mostly) in 30:40, the song that is playing in background is "Lambaya Püf De"(Turn the Lights Off). I'm writing this in case you might want to know or interested ;) and I am big fan of Richard Stallman. GNU and Linux forever!

I disagree with the comment at 2:25 that "open source does not mix smoothly with the concept of the free market economy..." There is no real conflict, although there are some court cases which happen anytime human beings interact. The "free market" includes many things such as private charity, helping your neighbor, etc. etc. The opposite of the "free market" is the "statist economy" or "government planned economy". Later in the video they point out that Linux code writers DO get a "return" for their time and effort. If Linux is not "free market" then it can only be one thing...a government run or financed project which it is not. Linux has sometimes been labeled "communist". Nothing could be further from the truth. No linux code has been written at gun point. No linux code has been written under threat of fine or imprisonment (assuming that the rights of others are not in question).
Again at 50:00 a comment is made about the "transfer of wealth being socialism..." when, in fact, what is being described is a free, voluntary transfer (or 'exchange')...not using the coercion required under socialism. If it is voluntary then it is free...not "socialistic".
Thanks! I came here to make the same point. The main philosophy behind libertarianism is the freedom from coercion. Government exists solely to coerce, so naturally we want as little of that as possible-- only enough to deter and remedy the situation when others in society wrongfully try to coerce others. Instead, libertarians prefer voluntary association, charitable donation, mutually beneficial contracts, and all other sorts of things that provide the structure for consensual cooperation rather than coercion.
As you said, none of the FOSS contributors are forced to participate. They do so voluntarily, and they are free to stop doing so at any time. It's about as non-coercive as it can get, and that makes it very libertarian, and very much at odds with the reality of socialism or communism (whose proponents like to pretend coercion isn't part of it, but they have never existed without it).
It's not called "redistribution of wealth" when a person voluntarily gives money to someone who is less fortunate. Redistribution occurs when money (or other resources) are taken forcibly from one group and given to another. Marxist theory is quite clear that this is a violent act; it speaks of revolutionary overthrow of the "Bourgeoisie" and a "dictatorship of the Proletariat." There's no pretense of voluntary exchange or peacefulness in the process until the mythical (and impossible) end stage where true communism is achieved and the state, now obsolete, withers away.
I know the socialists want so badly to have an example of their pet philosophy working, but there just aren't any.
You read my mind. Well said.
I'm also sort of having a mandella effect thing right now I had thought Linus was from Iceland not Finland
Not too far off the mark. If you look at the old Icelandic religion it's related to what we had in the North way back when. The vikings went all over the place. So there's some relation between Scandinavia and Iceland for sure.
Finland's output for IT is fine even just to start with: Jarkko Oikarinen (IRC), Linus Torvalds (Linux), Tatu Ylonen (SSH protocol)

This is very good documentary on Linux, the Gnu projects, and the open source. I can understand them better now. Thanks you.
im so lucky im in silicon valley i take it for granted,
im glad i have my own version of linux.
This has to be at least 10 if not 15 years old now. Everyone looks so young! Even the GTK1 terminal!
Open-source/free software may be "socialistic" but it is NOT "socialism", in the political sense. Everyone is free to choose whether they use or develop in the open-source community, it is voluntary participation, as it should be. Socialism would be saying that everyone MUST share, no exceptions, if not you will be fined/jailed/etc.
A very LARGE distinction. Socialism (government/legal or authoritarian force) is not a form of freedom. People that claim open-source is socialism in action is pushing their political agenda.
Contrary to the claim one person made in the video, any libertarian I am aware of would think of the GPL and linux as the flowering of liberty and capitalism, where the private sector triumphs over government control, and a refutation of the dismal predictions of socialists.
just starting career in programming and this video popped out in July 2 2024
Interesting they say Linux conflict with the free market. Firstly we have never had a truly free market and secondly according to economic theory, the true value of something will fall to its labour value, in other words, if it takes less than 1ms to copy a file and no human effort then the free market would dictate that product would cost basically nothing. Linux seems to play well with the anarcho-capitalist movement.
The melody in 30:50 It is what Anatolia is. Yes I am from Türkiye.
This is brilliant. I love that it was made in 2001 and that it predicts that at some point Linux will be everywhere, on your toaster and on your phone. Phone? Yup! Hello there Android. Toaster? not yet. But who can say. And I love that Linus says there will be a next operating system that is Not Linux, but will probably be open source. Maybe it will run on some quantum/optical/spinfoo hybrid tech that we'll invent in the 2030s.
I know this is a better OS for many reasons but how about using software like Pro Tools…can this be done & would you use a IBN clone ?
Dude, there's this cool website called Google. Why not try it?
Yes .. you can run pro tools on linux. All native instruments software will run on linux .. Most of the professional DAW software works on linux
Toaster = shitty low end pcs .. so yeah.. linux is on toasters already.. :- )
Miguel de lcaza who is also in the documentary started Gnome, Mono and Xamarin. He now works at Microsoft as a Distinguished Engineer. Microsoft has now open sourced .NET and Xamarin :)
Linux never had competition with MS, I don't understand why It's asked all the time. Both belong to different species.
That's true! Two very different OS shouldn't be compared like always people do.
long live GNU, FOSS and Linux as well as other FREE & OPEN SOURCE softwares
I watched this documentary in the early 2000s, and the part at 5:05 caught my attention from the very first time I watched it. I have been influenced by what Linus said ever since, as It made me realise that, I too prefer email, and written, delayed communication in general, where I have some time to think of the answer before replying. Even with this very message; I wrote it, left it, thought about it a bit more, came back, altered it a bit, and then sent it. This thought process and approach is the direct result of what Linus said at 5:05. It is interesting how something relatively minor you may say can influence someone's whole communication style somewhere in the world.
Great but....intellectual property rights were made up by governments in the 19th century, has nothing to do with the free market (voluntary exchange). Open source code is actually one of the best examples of the free and decentralized market I can think of.

Please skip from:@25:23 to @26:19 there is a really corny music video with Linus in his convertible.
Great, now you made me watch it xD
IRC, Linux and Darude. Finland has it all :-)
git and ssh also
One of the best documentaries about the LINUX world.
Is it a system requirement to have a beard and look like you haven't showered to use Linux?
Yes, if you have long hair, you are a even more truer-Linuxer, maybe not a skilled one, but a truer-Linuxer :) (made sense much? hahaha)
Raylet2 only if you use gentoo
Cyber Music so a black dude would have dreds lol
Raylet2 linus doesnt have a beard and he created the thing so... Nop at all
Raylet2 Of course you filthy (or should I say clean) casual!
What this man does NOT or refuses to understand is that some projects require a tremendous amount of resources.
And none of those projects would ever take place without some reassurance that the people that put in the resources can get it back.
Good Documentary, Opening Statements makes Sense
I just added Simplified Chinese subtitles. I found them online. Can anyone verify if the timing is right, and if it's a proper translation? Thanks.
watching this video on my Linux laptop :)
2:36 - Open source does mix smoothly with the free market economy; it doesn't mix smoothly with the modern-day corporatism.
Stallman, you are a programmer, not the president of the universe.
Quorthon Plavi he is a cook above all else
Richard does look exactly like my mental image of former President of the Galaxy, Zaphod Beeblebrox en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaphod_Beeblebrox
We are so thankful you went opensource with your legacy.
i like the narrator's voice
This documentary is soo good! Thanks a lot for sharing.
I am from Norway, and apperantly I can understand a lot of the words being said in Finnish ^_^
Most of the speaking are actually in Swedish. Very few parts are in Finnish. :)
Darkenedbyshadows Did not know that, It is hard to understand what poeple are saying when you can't even guess what language is spoken XD
Darkenedbyshadows "Most of the speaking are actually in Swedish"
lol did you even watch it? :D
carnivorouse yes, did u actually read the fucking comments that were made before replying ignorently to mine?
LinucNerd linus is from the swedish speaking part of finland
i think people should see the background of this .. this is not about stupids political system models . this is about an idea that works , a free software that you can change it as you want , you can give ideas and work as one . when things are meant to be for work or is your work or occupation it might be results as windows and when you work on something that is your passion or hobby you have positive results as GNU/Linux , we should be grateful to this men instead of being haters about their ideas.
Love Linux. Apparently its full potential is still not being realized, because of the shorted thinking that, anything that costs has value. Although I think that Linux is invaluable and with Ubuntu 14.1 and the upcoming 15.04 flavors, consumer choices would definitely move in a different direction...
I agree. Commercialization is not the answer. But the freedom movement should grow. Limiting it to a few would be detrimental to the movement.

The Linux kernel is released under GPL, so it will never cost money. Breaking the license is illegal, so even Linus Torvalds can't do it. Do you really prefer Linux to be used only by geeks? It has a ton of other possible uses, where Windows currently takes its place. Look around you, all public computers, all ATMs, cash registers etc are Windows. They shouldn't be, because Windows is a desktop OS, and not made to run ATMs. Linux can be reshaped to suit any use, but Windows can't. All we're doing by keeping Linux a "niche" is letting Windows unfairly take its place.
Adam N. Really liked your viewpoint.
Adam N.
"The Linux kernel is released under GPL, so it will never cost money."
Linux-based systems are sold all the time. You can go and buy many of the distributions available. The GPL just makes it so that you have to give the users the same freedoms you were given, including the one that lets you distribute it. You can sell it, but when someone buys it they are able to share it around.
Zack Wynne
I know they sell Linux systems. But if you know what the GPL means, you'd also know they can't sell GPL'd software without also offering it for free, usually in source code format. Most "commercial" distributions also have a free alternative. Red Hat has Fedora, SUSE has openSUSE etc. Free as in freedom, not as in free beer. Still, freedom usually results in 'for free', even if that's not obligatory.
the crazy thing about Linux now a days Valve is making a gaming handheld that runs on Linux. Linux has dotnet and Microsoft has even made a Linux Distro Windows now has support for Linux through WSL. at the time of writing this comment Desktop market share for Linux is at 2.43% and Steam is making Linux a strong gaming option for people. think it was kind of rough for Linux in the early days because Microsoft was trying to make sure they're products won't work on Linux and Linux wasn't the most friendly system to use in the early days. now we have so many options for Linux. Linux can do virtualization of Windows really well with hardware being passed to the Windows VM. Linux can be a type 1 hypervisor. I think its great and Linux has proven that it can get better with time I think in the end Linux will take over for Microsoft as a development/Desktop platform its only a matter of time
a good movie
Watching it now on my Chromecast!
Me too.
The best thing he ever said "If you wanted to buy DOS it was 200$ - SCU-UNIX cost 20 000$.It was easier to write it yourself"
Companies buy software because it gives them someone to sue if it screws up. They can only fire an employee... ;-)
on the first comment I couldn't stop my self to stop to think on the Coca-cola recipe... or the Vulcanized Rubber made by charles goodyear... so if devoted my life to get some recipe I could not get any revenue from it? medicine?...
the world is not people happily sharing recipes of food... even in the food market some recipes remain with his creators... KFC chicken share his recipes!?!?
Thiago Racca
It's true that the economy gives no incentive for people to share, but instead of accepting a shitty deal maybe we should change our attitude? Maybe we should admit that our system is dysfunctional, when we see that basic goodness is hampered by it. Sharing is caring, and everyone knows that. Look at a small child, and you can see that it's natural for them to share. It should be for us, as well.
I can understand that physical goods can't be shared freely when resources are limited. But information doesn't work like that, and the way we treat it is unnatural and has no basis in reality. We act like information is a scarcity, as if it somehow becomes less if it's copied. If I have an idea and I share it with you, that doesn't mean I lose the idea, because information can be duplicated easily. If you realized most of the Internet, and most of your electronic appliances runs on free software, maybe you wouldn't be so critical of the idea.
Adam N. I'm a big fan of linux I run linux daily on my web servers, And I am also a big fan of open source... I just dislike the arguments of richard stallman on free software...
how is free if I use some of stuff I am obligated to do any stuff Free need to be free only this
In terms of open source and Licensing I am much more a fan of the MIT License than of GPL or any other in same aspects..
maybe the pizza recipe is not a big deal share the recipe but the coca-cola recipe is... let me choose what I can give and what not
don't get me wrong linus trovalds is one of my heroes rs but just like bill gates and steve jobs...
In my country people are doing generic drugs supporting by goverment... so the recipe of the medicine can't be patented.. this mean the all drugs developed in my country stoped just because people can't gain money of drug market anymore...
I just want say if we want to something is free, its mean be really free like the MIT license not in GPL.... I Intentionally call linux Linux not GNU/Linux because this arguments of stallman
Thiago Racca
I understand your argument, and I'm aware that you're far from alone in thinking this. However, I don't find the freedom to be greedy and selfish, to be actual freedom. So, the flexibility you perceive in for example the MIT or BSD license may not actually result in more freedom. Is the freedom for authors to restrict users the same thing as freedom for everyone?
I understand that you find the GPL license to be forcing its users to share, but I'm more fascinated by the fact that people actually have to be forced to share. It seems to be the only way to make people play nice, and that worries me, to be honest.
About the drug market. If they stopped making their patented drugs, we wouldn't lose much. Look around you, and ask yourself if we're actually healthier because of their "medicines". Aren't you worried about their motives to make money on sick people? These companies are like any company, driven by profit. Profit and health care is a very bad combination, anyway.
Adam N. In my personal philosophy I am more inclined to libertarianism and freedom, and I get interested in this through Linux... I never liked to be a hostage of microsoft, but either way I don't want to be slave of GPL also...
And now is very strange feel like a slave on either sides...
Today I use a bunch of technologies from different companies like google,apple,microsoft all together with open source I don't know to me this is freedom.. when I still able to choose what I can do I think is free enough
About the drugs currently my health depends only of my own DNA.. I doesn't have yet any big issues with my health..
but if I get sick I don't see any problems in pay for health in fact I save a little money for that cause we never know...
Cause the other option is the people who could have no motivation to save me....
And in the ultimate end I completely loose control of my own life and health cause if is not with money how can I control my chances to stay alive... ultimately I will deliver my life to someone who is not motivated to save me by any means...
I really want people greedy and selfish to save my life in exchange of my money because this way I can trust that I will be saved because this people want money from another people too and they want a reputation...
Thiago Racca You obviously haven't thought through the argument you presented all that much, or if you have then you need to again. If you watched anything on the Venus Project you'd see that your argument completely falls apart. First off, people aren't sharing Coke or KFC recipes because our current capitalistic and monetary system creates scarcity and forces everyone to compete against one another for resources. If we simply recognized that we all need certain resources and decided to effectively manage the earths resources and cooperate we'd have access to anything we wanted, there would be no competition and we would be unified in a goal of cooperating and working to achieve the best, most efficient, etc., of everything. To prove how idiotic your argument is: you say you want your doctors and medical care completely driven by money? Ok, well then I'll pay whatever price necessary to ensure that you never receive any medical care whatsoever, that doctors kill all your children, and that you surgically get neutered so that you never spread these same idiotic genes that actually think all medical decisions should be financially driven... (because medical care driven SOLELY by a monetary basis has no concern for ethics)
WOW! First minut and I love it! Thanks for subs
Why the hell did you get a child robot from India to narrate this??
INDIA? O_o ermmm... noooo... that's FINNISH
It's certainly not a Finnish accent, belive me. Also, Linus native language is Swedish (although he know Finnish, being raised in Finland).
Prem Krishna Chettri can't handle accents??
Lets face it Gill Bates and Sicromoft will eventually fade into obscurity.
Bill the bioterrorist, I mean the "philanthropist"
why did an asian with an english speech impediment have to do the narration?
..computer synthesized voice generation?

LINUX :
L : Let
I : It
N : Near
U : you
no matter X
he deserves much more credit than he gets
I like, Linux but the only winners are the hardware manufacturer. sell a cellphone with a Linux type OS on it. people will have to pay for the cellphone. but the cellphone manufacturer will not have to pay for the OS. we pay for the hardware, manufacturers save money. the software industry is killed off.
interesting point. never considered it that way before
well android is linux and we all know why its best os for mobiles (if not tablets)
shreyans jain
its a good OS, but again only the seller of the phones and tablets make money.. the programmers, dont get anything.
the programmers are at google and thats heaven, they are very lucky and talented to be there
shreyans jain
nope, I don't mean the small team at google. I mean the hundreds of programmer that contributed to make linux, and got nothing in return.
Thank you so much for making this .
Holy shit that storyteller kid with annoying accent ruined this document. Without him, would have been awesome...
J0xxe I think he's Hispanic. I don't find his voice annoying.
just listen and shut it.
I'm sure if you went to finland they would think that you talk like a moron too.
What LINUX and its predecessor, UNIX, need is for the Bourne Shell be given the bum's rush, C-Shell exiled to the C-Shore and the Korn-Shell cut, and a replacement created that is far more elegant, easy to understand and easy to port to multiple spoken languages, and the awkward and rather cryptic utilities like awk and grep and others replaced. The commonly popular scripting languages can be used as models for its creation. Constructs for providing the piping of processes could use the communication file structure of the Dartmouth University timesharing system of the late 1970's.
Free software all the way!!
***** Free as in freedom, not as in beer. Read up on it before commenting, please: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software
***** Criticizing Apple is a taboo? o.O Since when? :))) Ever since they installed those anti-suicide nets on their factories? :))
"users, individually or collectively, are free to do what they want with it - this includes the freedom to redistribute the software free of charge, or to sell it (or related services such as support or warranty) for profit."
The difference between freedom and free beer is that I am allowed to sell my code even if it's under GPL. Think of it in terms of books. Selling books is totally normal - because they cost resources. Selling the ideas conveyed in books is normal too - if anyone wants to buy your ideas (maybe someone wants to pay the author to give a speech on the book or explain it in more depth?). But trying to CONTROL IDEAS? To stop others from using your ideas? That's just plain selfish and evil and shouldn't be accepted by the society at large!
Would you punish a kindergarden kid for trying to draw mickey mouse? But Disney would, if they could.
+Ford Bronco One thing at a time.
Adam N ,Thanks to you for the video . It's a very informative documentary video.And thanks to Richard Stallman for the noble sacrafice of profits for the sake of principals.
Thank you for watching, and I'm glad you enjoyed it :) Let's give a big thanks to the director as well, Hannu Puttonen! Also thank you Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds, and countless others!
For the sake of people who run schools? I think that you mean "principles"... ;-P
I have a fine spell checker
It came with my PC

I feel like Richard Stallman might have had an ego problem.
Yeah but if I wrote code like he does then I would have an ego problem too
He has a good reason for it
well, without his work and GNU, Linux would not have been a "complete" operating system environment (at least not for some time later ). If/when it finally did, would it all still be free? Would it have taken off in the same way? Would it have been too late? Even without all the GNU utilities (which still haven't been replaced), the kernel itself was and still is compiled with GNU's compiler, so Linus would have had to create his own or submit to whatever rules some other compiler holds over software created with it. Luckily, GCC (and the linux kernel itself) used what could be Stallman's greatest legacy, the GPL license.
Most people who want to bash RMS completely do not realize how HUGE of a role the GCC compiler (most probably don't know what a compiler is) and the GPL had/have in this story (along with most other open source projects from past, present, and future). Not to mention the dozens of crucial utilities GNU provides for most Linux systems. Most of the power with linux comes from the command line. Most of the power behind the command line comes from the use/combined use of many GNU utilities.
Great documentary - informative and entertaining.
