    Being the creator of the most successful open source project in history gives you a bit of leeway.

    Besides, Linus had a major personality change years ago and has since endeavoured to be a lot more polite to people, and it certainly shows.

      Spot on. A couple of years ago I wanted him and his channel to be destroyed since he was being such a jerk. Now, not so much. I still don’t like him, but he has come a long way in his interactions with people, at least publicly.

      I’m a moron. Working on not being one much longer.
