Just for Fun

Linus Torvalds reflects on his early fascination with computers and the development of Linux, the operating system that began as a personal project and spread widely through the Internet. The account presents the origins of the software, the ideas behind it, and the path from an individual experiment to a global technology story.

Written with David Diamond, the book combines personal recollection with a history of the Linux project. It offers a catalogue-ready look at computing innovation, collaboration, and the unconventional thinking associated with one of software’s best-known figures.
