I take a guess and predict that many of us mortals would have taken a chance. Linux Torvalds did not, according to a Wired article. Apparently, Torvalds received a personal job offer from Steve Jobs more than a decade ago. He was offered to work on Unix for MacOS, but the offer came with the condition that he would have to drop all work on Linux.
"Unix for the biggest user base: that was the pitch," Torvalds told Wired. "He wanted me to work at Apple doing non-Linux things. … I said no."
Perhaps, the offer was not enticing enough anyway and most obviously pitched to the wrong person.
