is this statement true?
Is this statement true?
you decide
Clearly, but only because he accepts his failure as a reality. Do you understand?
Objectively? No, he's very successful for what he does and gets to play with a bunch of geek bullshit as a benefit.
Subjectively? Yes, he's pretty fucking retarded in a lot of what he says and does.
not bad
I really like Linus san. He's cool and you shouldnt make fun of him.
BUTTHURT NEETS BTFO
whats that excel? office 365 desktop?
I wouldn't say so, he created linux after all.
someone explain the figures to me please
It's libreoffice
How many fucking videos of putting a cpu in a motherboard, attaching the cooler, putting a gpu in, putting in two sticks of ram, connecting a storage drive and hooking it up to a power supply can you make?
not enough apparently
He only makes 100k per year?
He is a failure.
it's gimp
they are paying $20k/year to the chinese guy they brought in on a work visa after proving they couldn't find a cucknadian for the job
it's also canadian monopoly money, so it's probably like $16k american
Dennis is so fucking incompetent it pisses me off
he seems like a nice guy, sad he ended up working for peanuts for a slave driver
was this a mistake or did they intentionally show this?
it was partially intentional, at the time linus was saying something about ltt losing traction or someshit like that
>ltt losing traction
Personally, I unsubscribed recently because I was fed up with the clickbait titles and thumbnails. I had been watching since like 2013 too.
>drops Xeon 8081
>breaks out Gorilla glue and clamps
The failure that keeps on failing.

This. This guy has no credentials, he was just a box stacker for some canadian computer hardware store that got lucky after making some unboxing videos for them. The fact that he made it so far is incredible.
He'll always be a failure to his father
Do you think Slick ever get jealous of Linus and wants to strangle him in his sleep when they're in bed together
>Implying I base success on monetary values rather than self-actualisation or, even worse, directly linking monetary value to self-actualisation
You didn't provide an image with usable data for me.
How do these guys live in Vancouver on those incomes?
They all live with other people and have at least 2 workers per household
>those people making 20k a year in fucking canadian funbucks
>while also living in fucking Vancouver
But he also gets sent a fuck ton of free shit worth thousands dollars every month.
>barely 100k a year
big oof
They're in Walnut Grove.
Which is still ludicrously expensive.
Being a nice guy is not a selling point when it comes to getting a girlfriend or a well paying job.
they live in the woods behind the ltt warehouse
Looking at his face, demeanor and the fact that youtube posting is the high point of his life: yes.
He made the Linux kernel, that's more than you fuckers will ever do
>write linux kernel
>think he's failure because haven't done enough for this world
how can someone be so humble and based at same time
how did they even get this data? does anyone here know?
it's not funny
linus torvalds made the linux kernel, a based american
>living off free gibs

Actual business man here. LEt me give you guys a breakdown:
>When you have a LLC, like the company or "group" that Linus runs, you have to report income.
>For employees, this is easy, but for yourself, the boss, you can pretty much report whatever. Linus could make over a million a year (probably does), but he only has to report the salary that he pays himself, not his overall revenue.
>Also, keep in mind that Linus runs multiple channels and multiple companies to avoid additional taxing in Canada.
>For example, the man sitting next to him the pic is Luke, who is the, on paper, the man in charge of one of Linus' other businesses (Floatplane).
>As such, Luke can do what Linus does and report whatever he wants for his income on the Floatplane tax forms, as it only goes off the salary that he pays himself.
>As far as donations go, Linus and friends can dance around it and not report it for taxes, or at least not report ALL of the amount and get away with it in most places (US, UK, and Canada, which is where Linus is from).
>Also, what is not reported on the forms we have seen is the money made through third party partnerships and collabs, including but not limited to the commercials that Linus was cast to do for Dell, Alienware, Intel, and so on.
If all that biz shit flew over your head, just consider the fact that Linus owns (not rents) a mansion and has a wife who works for him (accountant) and a few kids, as well as multiple cars (a beater, a family car, his wife's car, and a new car he bought for himself last year) and the fastest electric motorcycle in the world, of which he paid for all in cash. He does all that, while not having debt and is able to pay multiple employees and provide them benefits (he still pays Max, in worker's comp stuff, despite the fact she left a year ago). Needless to say, the guy is rich, to put it bluntly.
It really means nothing since we don't know how much his company takes in.
I don't disagree that that shit is annoying, but big youtubers legit make more money by doing click bait shit titles and thumbnails. If Youtube is their job, I have a hard time blaming them.
He doesn't have a white wife and kids.
he has that slav look, he isn't white himself either
