Post #3863273

RE: https://sunny.garden/@bragefuglseth/116920572163082606 Because of the recent paragraphs that have surfaced from the kernel mailing list, I feel inclined to bring this 2 days old post up again. People need to stop viewing Linus as some kind of figurehead for the Linux desktop / free software. Not because of his recent statements in particular, he's entitled to his own opinions, but because he generally just has never represented the values or mindset everyone seems to think he has. He oversees an important technical component of the desktop stack, but that component is used in so many other places as well, and he probably couldn't care less about the success of Linux on personal devices in particular. He's never coming to save any of you from the technological apocalypse or whatever. #Linux #FOSS
