Initially, NVIDIA's image rendering device, although unparalleled in performance, kept the driving mechanism a secret, especially the core components required by the Lin system. In the year of Renchen (2012 AD), there was a grand technology conference in Helsinki, Finland, called the "Finnish Technology Forum." It was June, the summer heat was intense, and engineers from all nations gathered. There was a person named Linus, known as the father of the Lin system, who held the core shared by all nations. He was straightforward in character and eloquent in speech. During a Q&A session, he suddenly turned red with anger, pointed his finger, and exclaimed, "NVIDIA, you young fools! You lock up the core, act against the heavens, and are indeed a great threat to our open-source society!" He then struck the table and shouted, "Hey! NVIDIA, you are a servant of your mother!" The audience was shocked, and soon everyone began to applaud, the sound shaking the building. Torvalds once wrote a manifesto stating, "NVIDIA is the worst merchant I have ever seen in my life!" The open-source practitioners, upon hearing this, all sighed in lament. At that time, although the Lin system was gradually rising, NVIDIA relied on its patents and refused to release the source, causing craftsmen worldwide who wished to adjust the rendering device to feel trapped in a quagmire, with hundreds of workers left helpless.
The Grand Historian said: Torvalds' anger was not personal resentment, but public indignation. In the past, Emperor Qin forged golden figures, and Emperor Wu of Han sealed the wolf's den, all aiming for unification of the world. Now, the way of open source is fundamentally about harmonizing all nations, yet NVIDIA alone locks up its technology, is it not like Gun blocking the rivers and marshes? However, the way of heaven operates in cycles, and by the year of Guimao (2023 AD), NVIDIA gradually began to open the source of its core driving mechanism. Upon hearing this, Torvalds smiled and sighed, "It is late, but still better than not doing anything." Observing the disputes over the rendering device, which began like ice and fire but ultimately returned to harmony, is it not the result of the times?
