    Wasn’t Linus an actual asshole back in the day. The same as Steve Jobs and even Bill Gates. Seems to be a running trend with OS makers from the early 90’s.

    Not that it is relevant. It’s cool we have Linux. Glad we can celebrate a system that just isn’t quite there yet.

    EDIT: Lemmy is a cesspool. You guys need help.

      Linus’ brand of assholery extends to cussing out some of his colleagues via email when they did something stupid, sometimes. It’s not even remotely comparable to Steve Jobs (horrible treatment of his daughter) and Bill Gates (EEE strategy, monopolistic practices).

      Ahh, classical Torvalds’ buttburning. So sad I don’t see it anymore
