Lin Zheng didn't want to be greeted by someone, "I... fuck!", and quickly changed the topic, "Hello Mr. Torvalds, my name is Lin Zheng, a linux enthusiast from China... Please forgive me for taking the liberty, why are you on this plane?"

After saying that, Lin Zheng then added, "Oh, I'm just simply curious. If this question makes you embarrassed, you don't have to answer."

"This is nothing, nor is it a secret matter," Torvalds waved his hand. Lin Zheng's ability in Linux made him doubt Lin Zheng's words at all, and said, "I'll go to Horst to attend a linux conference," said Torvalds' eyes suddenly lit up and he said enthusiastically, "Mr. Lin, do you want to attend this conference together? This conference brought together many Linux enthusiasts and experts from all over the United States and Europe. This is a big linux party, and I believe you will definitely like it."

Those who work in open source software have no future. Look, there are always millions of Linux enthusiasts all over the world now, right? But so many enthusiasts, if you want to hold a linux enthusiast party, you can only choose the location in the remote Horst, which is like a countryside. Thinking of this in your heart, Lin Zheng agreed without hesitation, "Okay! Where will the meeting be held? When?"

"That's great," I didn't expect Lin Zheng to agree so happily. Linuxtorvalds couldn't help but feel overjoyed and hurriedly began to flip through the bag he carried with him. He took out an invitation letter from it, pointed to an address above and said to Lin Zheng. "Here, it's here."

"Is this...a farm?" Lin Zheng hesitated and asked Linuxtorvalds without any certainty.

"The owner of this farm is also a linux enthusiast. The venue and some of the fees for this party were sponsored by him..." Linuxtorvalds said to Lin Zheng awkwardly that the Linux operating system has caused a huge sensation around the world in recent years, but as the founder of the linux operating system, he has no money, which is quite embarrassing.

Lin Zheng nodded without realizing it. "That's right, linux is an unrestrained open source operating system. It complements each other when holding parties on the farm... Everyone gathered together to communicate with each other. I don't think there is much difference between whether to communicate in a hotel or a barbecue conference on the farm."

"That's right, that's it!" After hearing Lin Zheng say this, Linuxtorvalds nodded excitedly.

Anyway, as an operating system that has gained a certain popularity around the world, Linux has brought global popularity to Linuxtorvalds, but it has not brought him corresponding wealth, and even brought wealth to these enthusiasts who love Linux operating systems. This is indeed a relatively embarrassing fact.

Although the Linux operating system has been open source from the beginning, it also has open source, freedom and sharing as the spirit of Linux from beginning to end. But people always have to live in reality. It is really impossible to have no money. To be honest, this party is indeed a bit shabby. In Maslow's theory, the five types of needs of people themselves indicate that as long as they are people, there is no bad face. Face itself reflects the respect of society and others for themselves, which is a reflection of personal ability and social status. It is also a meeting,

Whether you hold it at Annaberg Manor, California or in a small farm that is not only the attention you receive, but the psychological hints that you bring to the participants are absolutely different. At least being able to hold a meeting at Annaberg Manor itself shows that the meeting is high-end enough, but holding a meeting in a small farm in the country is really so low-end that it cannot be lower-end anymore. Now Lin Zheng's words give Linuxtorvalds a good excuse and reason: we are open source, free and shared!

Although it is your own deceiving yourself, it is also a skill to be able to deceive yourself.

Linuxtorvalds, who comforted a lot of heart, enthusiastically held Lin Zheng's hand, "Mr. Lin, you must come at that time. Your many unique insights on Linux are very interesting. I urgently want to have a deeper communication with you."

"No problem!" Lin Zheng looked at the meeting time indicated on the invitation letter 4 days later, so there was no problem at all.

………………………………………

"Is this person very powerful?" Tan Na asked Lin Zheng whispered to Lin Zheng. She heard the conversation between Lin Zheng and that guy just now. Although she was surprised that she could meet the founder of Linux on the plane, she was not too surprised. Compared with DOS and Windows, unix, Linux is really inconspicuous, and it is like an ugly duckling.

Although Lin Zheng occasionally heard about Linux in the past, she didn't take it seriously at all. Compared to Linux, she is actually more familiar with unix.

Lin Zheng nodded affirmatively and whispered, "It's amazing, very awesome! But in terms of software talent, I don't think he is worse than Bill Gates at all."

"How is that possible?" Tan Na was stunned: Lin Zheng's evaluation of this guy is so high? I think he is enough to compete with Bill Gates?

"Don't get me wrong. I just said his talent in software, but he didn't say his business mind. Bill Gates has a chairman on the Executive Board of the National United Way, and is the mother of IBM CEO John Akers. This guy, Linuxtorvalds, doesn't have it, and the Linux operating system he wrote is much more stable and reliable than Windows. I'm very optimistic about the future of Linux."

"Do you think Linux will make great achievements in the future? But Linux is an open source software. Also, aren't Windows and J'A--V"A boycotting Linux now?" Tan Na's expression suddenly became solemn.

She is too familiar with Lin Zheng's expression. Usually, as long as Lin Zheng uses this expression to speak to herself, it means that he is serious and very serious. He really thinks that the future of Linux is very bright. Although based on his understanding of Linux, it is completely incomprehensible. Even if Linux has all the functions of Unix, anyone who uses the Unix operating system or wants to learn Unix operating system can benefit from Linux. Even if Linux can now support the TCP/IP network protocol, she cannot understand it.

"Do you remember the computer development history I told you?" Lin Zheng whispered.

"Remember, you said that in the future, everyone will have a computer in their pocket."

"That's right, that's it. If everyone will have a computer in their pockets in the future, then the operating system of this computer will most likely be on Linux. I don't think that Windows can still dominate people's pockets after dominating people's desktops."

Lin Zheng certainly has full confidence to say that when Microsoft was proud of its own Windows desktop operating system, the WindowsCE embedded operating system and the Windows Mobile smart operating system based on WindowsCE fully occupied people's desktops and pockets, Bill Gates would never have thought that just five years later, Microsoft had an unprecedented defeat in the smart operating system. The mobile smart terminal on the palm that was once divided by Windows Mobile and Symbian was occupied by Android and IOS in a destructive way.

Oh, forget about IOS. Although Apple's products are sold at high end, if you look at the final market share, you will find that this extremely closed product only accounts for 15% of the market share. Even if this product is hyped up to be extremely high, no matter when it comes, its real influence will always depend on how many terminal products you sell in the end.

Tan Na shook her head, it was really unbelievable that this day only took less than 20 years. Microsoft is now like the rising sun. In 20 years, Linux can compete with Windows for the world? Isn’t this too exaggerated?

But despite this, Tan Na did not dare to underestimate Lin Zheng's judgment. She looked at Lin Zheng with a steady attitude, "Are you playing the game?"

"It really can't be true anymore. If I had to make a choice between Dell, Compaq and Linux, I would give up Dell and Compaq without hesitation."

Tan Na was really shocked. From the conversation between Lin Zheng and the guy named Linuxtorvalds just now, she could clearly see that Lin Zheng really attaches great importance to the Linux system, but no matter what, he did not expect that Lin Zheng's attention to Linux actually hit this level. In his mind, this software is actually important to this level? What's going on?

Before she could speak, Lin Zheng whispered to her, "To be honest, I didn't expect to meet linuxtorvalds so soon, nor did I expect to associate with linux so soon. In my plan, this should be two years later. Now I have to make a good plan."

"Okay." Tan Na nodded without hesitation.
