- The Godfather of Open Source is undoubtedly Linus Torvalds, eccentric creator of Linux. Let's dive in to learn...
1. why the open source revolution is the bedrock of the entire software world, and why you should care
2. who is Linus Torvalds (and why many people dislike him personally)
3. the legacy an impact of the Linux OS which powers the majority of the internet.

wow, this is high quality, if you keep this up your channel is gonna explode
Nice summary. I think it would have been good to give a little more context about how Bell and UNIX drove the need for FOSS, how organizations like GNU, CC, FSF, EFF, and Mozilla made it "a thing", and how Microsoft made it a necessity.
I totally agree. I think it was odd how he didn't mention the importance of GNU and the original motivation behind the FOSS movement in this whole story; Linux was really a piece of a much larger puzzle. In reality, what he was referring to as Linux, was, in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities, and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
Oh man Stallman would hate it knowing he is in a video about Open Source and even shown as a supporter of it on a proprietary video platform 😂
I've been on Linux as my daily driver for 8 or so years, but I've had it installed on secondary systems and/or dual booting all the way back to 1999 with Red Hat 5.2, though I went with Ubuntu when I swtiched from OSX for my daily driver. It's come so far.
Bad video. One sided. Read the book Free as in Freedom.
I was introduced to open source software in my first semester of university, and I had never left, it is just so awesome!
Amazing, thanks for sharing your research with us!
“nobody writes perfect code the first time. except for me, but there is only one of me” -Linus Torvalds talking to a bunch of google developers at a conference he was invited to by google
I'm really suprised that you have so few subcribers. You deserve a lot more. Keep up the good work!
Wow... 404 subscriber.
Linux is Open Source but is also Free (as in freedom), not all open source is libre. Good video. Do one on RMS
Don't give up man one day you will hit a million sub's I guarantee you that
This is an amazing documentation, what software you use?
10:03 Having your work be held to high standards and continuously criticized is not the point of conflict here - that's just the norm in open-source. The issue is *how* it is criticized; as much as I like him and his work, Linus has far too often responded way too harshly to things (as seen in the article prior to this timestamp), often times just based on subjective feels he had about certain things.
Hey man you may want to fix this: at 2:52 you say “naturally Microsoft was a competitor to Windows” I think you meant to say Linux there 😉
Great video though as usual
He may have meant it as "Microsoft was competing with Windows as their offering".
What about Richard Stallman ?
Aron jack is that you?🤔
I feel like know this voice from Aron jack TH-cam.
Edit : I checked description. It’s him .
4:03 “Kernel” and “operating system” are pretty much synonymous. For reference, go see OS guru Andrew Tanenbaum’s textbook on the subject -- the MINIX book itself.
I wonder how much code the Cia has on Linux thanks to oracle
Wow. This was such a nice watch.
I scrolled in search for comments but found this has 35 views atm! I subbed, nice content.
I love Linux
2:02 That looks like a KDE 4.x desktop with the old “Keramik” theme. And of course Emacs.
Don't ever go back. Have an SSD for steam and never look back at that wicked land of proprietary OSs
Why in the world don't you promote this channel more? It's great and I was like hey I recognize this voice. I took me sometime to figure it out.
Creating libraries and technologies and then hiding them behind paywalls and patents, now that I do not forgive
I think open-source is absolutely essential for the development of human-kind.
disclaimer i didn’t watch the video, but i wouldn’t consider torvalds the godfather of open source. it would when to be someone leading the GNU project like Richard Stallman. They actually called it “Copy Left” before open source was coined.
Funny how in the actual video he mentions that very fact
sharing code is as old as the code itself. stallman just understood that bad people around there a the time wanted to stop that so he created the GNU project and the GPL.
Prior to that time, people thought they could share code just by saying it was “public domain”. Then some lawyers pointed out that, in some jurisdictions, you cannot simply say that something is “public domain”, because that means it is not copyrighted, which is not true - it still falls under copyright.
@@lawrencedoliveiro9104 the way it was mentionned in the video really feels like Stallman one days says "hey ... why not sharing our code" when stallman says in its biography that closed was an emerging thing.
Am I imagining it, or do you keep randomly mispronouncing his name?
Rust is now being introduced into some aspects of the linux kernel so it isnt entirely developed in c
NodeJs is a runtime, not a framework.
2:33 This effect requires GPU acceleration
0:14 Nitpick: that screenshot looks like some kind of game/graphics code, not Linux kernel code.
7:03 Now *there* is some Linux kernel code.
great explanation :)
Great job. Just subscribed.
Good job
Welcome to the Linux community
9:12 unfathomably based
Great job!
Another great video!
Jesus, you deserve way more subscribers. Keep making videos, I'm sure you'll blow up, and you've already gained my sub!
are you Aaron jack?
gnu + linux actually
i use arch btw
linux is linux because of his character, his character filtered out people that shouldn't touch it.
yo wtf watched a great video and only then saw this is such a small channel, great work thx man
Richard Stallman did not invent open source. he does not support open source, and he would be offended to be attributed as the creator or a support of it. Stallman champions for free software, and he is the founder of the Free Software movement, which fights for the freedom of the user, not the practical conveniences of source code availability which is all that open source cares about
Very true. I was searching for that comment. RMS would not just be offended but freak out on how people still dont get free software after him preaching it for decades now 😂
He is trying to draw a distinction without a difference.
9:00 Linus is what we today call Based
The God Father who introduced open source to the world in my opinion is
The one and only legend "Richard Stallman"
This is true. Although Stallman doesn't prefer to be called as the father or godfather of Open Source, it is Richard Stallman who started this.
@@dexternepo absolutely
Absolutely. Linux filled the gap of a missing kernel for the GNU project as herd wasn't ready at the time (and I think still isn't!)
@@tristandunn4628 no offense: although people hype Linus but he designed a small kernel, but Linus earned the credit because from starting he completely open-sourced linux, but without Richard, the world might not recognise the power of open-source
Companies take this open source projects, and use their own terms, and getting paid by customers, but not giving any sort of composition nor credits to the incredible contributors who are collaborating from around the world, that's what makes me hurt.
Although it's open-source, but people investing their time, we love to contribute but getting credit for their work helps

haha, i recognize that voice : D
Now we need a prophet of actually free software
It's this Aaron!?
Good vid, both entertaining and educational
so brilliant dude
Thanks. Interesting.
keep going bro 💪
Open source is not free software.
Free software is defined by the FSF’s list of the Four Freedoms. Care to point out in what way the Open Source Definition does not guarantee those Freedoms?
Believe me: This video crosses 1million + views for sure
at some point in time, it will.
@@SomeUnremarkableGuy yes it is
Give us a time limit within which you think it will cross 1million+ views.
@@i33o7dot9 I don't know about day or year, and it's my opinion it will happen one day, see yaa brother, have a great day.
please stop making content
It would be more accurate to say that Linus created GIT as an answer to subversion. Which was a very inefficient way to track versioning. Over time, subversion became bloated with repositories exceeding several GB. In comparison GIT keeps track of changes instead of versions which in the world of open source became extremely useful.
4:07 - it was until like last week, linux is getting rusty now
