I find interesting the part where he explain a bit him being blunt:

He makes a lot excuses for being a jerk, though. Critical honesty is one thing, but he has no filter toward other programmers.

Mainly because NVIDIA refuses to provide proper open-source drivers for their high end GPUs, a limitation that is absolutely crippling adoption of Linux for gaming applications.

Rather interesting article actually.

For those of you who don't know who Linus Torvalds is, he's the guy that created the first Linux Kernel.
