You must be new to FLOSS, because this isn't a real secret. In fact, he's pretty much known for being an asshole. He can still be pretty blunt these days, but he was a lot worse in the past. Also why does it matter? I genuinely don't understand the point of this post.

Maybe you're right (I don't follow this thing very closely), but it was news to me.

For as long as I've know who Linus is, this is the image that comes to my mind every time he comes up.

Why does it matter that someone has abusive behavior?

Answer: To call out abusive behavior and not have people romanticize individuals with abusive behavior

Also, this is the epitome of many intelligent coders and many intelligent people in general being pieces of shit 🤣. It is funny how jerks just say “I am just blunt” and “respect has to be earned”, meanwhile for them disrespect is free and abundant 🤣.
