Today, May 13, 2016, we're continuing our "Watch" series of articles with a recent interview with Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux kernel, in conversation with Dirk Hohndel, Chief Linux and Open Source Technologist at Intel.

In the 30-minute video keynote/interview attached below, courtesy of The Linux Foundation, which was recorded during the Embedded Linux Conference & OpenIoT Summit 2016 that took place last month between April 4 and April 6 in San Diego, California, USA, Linus Torvalds talks with Dirk Hohndel about everything Linux.

The fact of the matter is that this is one of the coolest and most interesting video interviews with Linus Torvalds we have seen in a while. In the video interview, you'll see and hear Mr. Torvalds talk about Linux's upcoming 25 anniversary, which will happen on August 25, 2016, and what's coming to the Linux kernel development in the next years.

In the keynote, Linus Torvalds also talks briefly about Linux on smart devices and its integration into the IoT (Internet of Things) world, as well as how secure the Linux kernel is actually is and if it should worry people or not if their Linux-powered devices are hacked, and upcoming cloud and server technologies. It's a must watch interview for all Linux enthusiasts, so make sure that you watch it!
