Is anyone here being forced against their will to listen to Linusā comments?
Heās free to speak his mind as far as Iām concerned.

whatās even sadder is many people are too afraid to try linux because they donāt want to appear ignorant!
its not hard people! just different. My neighbour had never heard of linux but when her new laptop was hijacked by a nasty virus and couldnāt be restored, I forensically wiped the system, brute forced the bios and installed peppermint linux.
after a few lessons she wont go back to windows ever.

Linux kernel is also getting a Code of Conduct. SJWs are here boys.

thatās what makes him great. Linus gives tough love to coders which is respectable.
not always. Steve Jobs was a well documented asshole, yet Apple Prospered even after his death.
But other than that. Iāve always felt he should of taken a break a long ass time ago. you can see his patience wearing thin with a lot of the non-sense within the community. he would be more āLikeableā had he given constructive criticism in less condescending manner.

Linux is different because Linus is different. Personally, I think thatās a Good Thingā¢. Thatās why I use it. I donāt want Linux or the Linux community turned into a safety blanket for snowflakes. Plenty of options already exist for folks like that.
Apple died the moment Steve Jobs died. If Linus Torvalds is turned into a wet nurse then Linux will die also. (And by ādieā I mean, of course, to lose the essential ingredient that allows it to stand apart.)
Linux has an edge because Linus is an edge. People that live life near sharp edges have to accept that once-in-a-while they will get nicked. The door is always open for those who donāt like the sight of blood.
I, for one, hope that Linus enjoys the break, and comes back energised ā ready to continue the battle against the soulless minions of orthodoxy in his own, raw and brutally honest style.
Sisu, Linus ā sisu!

Well heās been dealing with random shit for the last few years. The best one so far being the guy trying to steal money from the linux foundation via copywright law loopholes. I donāt blame him at all.
Oh no how awful. Someone loses his temper at a bunch of idiots that arenāt listening to the person running a project and he decides to kick the bucket for a minute.
How awful.

Can we fork the kernel?
:T can I slap the shit out of you.
The answer to both is: You can if you want, but put the effort in for the product you want out of the whole process.

Letās refrain from this language.

The android kernel is a Linux fork.
The kernel is open source, so anyone can fork it.
Their are some custom Linux kernels out their.

No if we get a SJW Code of Conduct.

Iām not sure thatās it.
I agree that Linus is good because of the whole Sisu mentality. I didnāt realize there was a word for it, thatās what I was trying to convey. Thanks!
Often times, Sisu comes across as an attack.
Letās not get out of control here.
I dunno. Letās see what happens. A CoC isnāt universally a bad thing. It can define a lot of important etiquette that would help things go smoothly (although, they normally do as is, so whatever).
Yes, Iām a bit worried about it, but lots of popular Linux software went full SJW and hasnāt gone to shit yet (looking at you, Mozilla), so weāll have to see.

If anything, that is the problem.
If you hold everything back you get one big nuke eventually. EVentually, with so many people losing their

over some god damn scribbles on the screen, linus could just say āfuck thisā and call it done.
And again, I wouldnāt blame him. He can do whatever he wants at this point lol. But there has been discussion of what to do as an heir to the kernel project in total as of recent. I imagine heās getting away from some of the problems heās been dealing with as of late and trying to get some things straight for himself.
Though, positive news, NVidia is supposedly picking up freesync. So he might just be off having a massive bender with his family in celebration.

Iāll use a bus instead.
Thatās awesome! We should make a different thread to talk about this.

Well I mean it makes sense that theyād be forced to at this point. TVās are getting freesync now for the consoles to all use it.
But yes, another thread for that.

Not always. People have left the platform because of his hostility.
So if you donāt like the attitude of the Linux community, youāre a special snowflake. I guess that includes Wendell and company, since theyāve done several videos on the unbearable toxicity of the Linux community?
Everything is so polarized and extreme today. Youāre either a āreā or a āSJW cuckā if you want people to treat each other with respect.
These arenāt āa bunch of idiotsā, these are people that have given their time to contribute to a project. Something you claim to value, from what I understand. Heās lashed out at individuals.
This thread is full of examples of what Iām talking about.
āLinus can do what he wants! We donāt need people that canāt handle tough love.ā
Such bs. You donāt belittle someone and put them down for ātough loveā, you do that because youāre an insufferable prick.
āWeāre going to get a SJW code of conduct! I HATE SJW!!!ā
Meanwhile, in reality, none of that is real.
