Linus then goes on to clarify his act by saying that there are a number of other companies who have bad driver support. Linus Benedict Torvalds, the Linux creator is a well respected name in the open source community. The visionary was speaking at an event in front of students on 14 June at the Aalto University Center for Entrepreneurship in Otaniemi, Finland. The video of his speech has made online and is going viral. Reason: A girl in the audience asked him about NVIDIA graphics card driver support for Linux, since she faced some difficulty with her laptop that was running NVIDIA Optimus Technology. His response to this question was what has put him in a trouble spot. He clearly said that NVIDIA is the worst company that he has ever dealt with. And he did not stop at that. He then looked at the camera to say F**k You as he flips the bird! This is followed by his clarification about a couple of other companies who have bad driver support.
This is what he said: “I know exactly what you’re talking about and I’m happy to say that it’s the exception rather than the rule. I’m also happy to very publicly point out that NVIDIA has been one of the worst trouble spots we’ve had with hardware manufacturers. And that is really sad because NVIDIA tries to sell chips — a lot of chips — into the Android market and NVIDIA has been the single worst company we’ve every dealt with. So, NVIDIA, f**k you!”
