I want to bet this dude is a giant asshole. Not sure why people keep making a hero out of him, he sounds like an awful person.
Maybe, I've never met him, but that changes nothing.
Linus Torvalds is a giant asshole and he doesn't know how to talk to people, he's still one of the most important people in tech.
Torvalds isn't an asshole because of a nonexistent moral compass. He just has strong opinions, and he's usually right, anyway.
Absolutely, didn't mean to imply otherwise
Linus is not an asshole, he's just right and tells his opinions straight without playing games. That's called honesty.
That... Sounds exactly like how every smart asshole describes themselves. Don't know anything about Linus, just basing that off your description.
