Is Linus being an ass, yes. Has he always been an ass, yes. Howvever I honestly don't think bailing on "Linux" as a whole is fair because of a single kernel developer.
There are a lot of good people in the Linux community, fighting a good fight. If some dipshit is found in a software project, we find alternatives. But with the kernel, that is more difficult to do. At least with the kernel Linus is 1 of many and not to sound like a shit, but Linus is not a spring chicken. He's older than I am.
I'm more disappointed in Linux Distros for swallowing the systemd Kool-Aid than for Linus's mouth at this point.

@c64whiz@oldbytes.space You guys realize Linux distros can use more kernels than the Linux kernel, right?
