Torvalds Switches to a Mac

renai42 writes "Linux creator Linus Torvalds said this afternoon that he's now running an Apple Macintosh as his main desktop, mainly for work reasons, although partly simply because he's a self-described "technology whore" and got the machine for free." And yes, he is running Linux on it ;)

  1. In fact: LINUS RUNS LINUX ON APPLE by charlie_vernacular · · Score: 1, Troll

    Macintosh is the operating system, Apple is the company. So an Apple Macintosh is an Apple computer running the Macintosh operating system.

    Comments on ZDNet rightly point out that saying "Torvalds runs Mac" is simply a cheap ploy to draw hits, besides being inaccurate.
