Woman right to choose, fair enough. Regulated guns, absolutely. The less guns the better. Gay people stuff, I couldn’t care less. Check.

The man said it as it should be said.

Well said!

Linus has a great mind for creating and managing a Linux kernel, but like actors and others he has no qualifications for his other opinions that nobody asked for. And instead of making a lucid argument, he name calls and is rude and actually makes a fool of himself. And guns are just a tool that any law abiding citizen should be able to purchase, and I’ve used one to defend myself when my front door was kicked in at 4:30am. With our wicked drug addicted society becoming more and more lawless, the need for personal firearms has never been greater. And we already have a ton of gun regulations, background checks…

Every human opinion is essentially “political” in some way, and is even interpreted differently be country? But open source software as a technology should not be taking any stance for or against gender, guns, rights, race, etc…

Well, it’s not any official statement by the Linux Devs as a collective.

It’s simply the personal opinion of Linus - who also happens to be the person who created Linux and still manages it.

glad to be proven wrong :)

After being disappointed by Steve, Linus lifted my spirits.

Based but don’t make Linux political

This is one of the reasons why I respect him so much.

I’ve never been made happier by one of his rants.

Linus is stellar example of “good is not nice.”

He will rake you over the coals because he cares about quality and expects better from everyone.

guyman ,

Good can be nice. This is just him personally and shouldn’t be seen as a guideline on how to be good.

Holy shit a based Linus is not what I expected to see today. Makes me prefer Linux even more than I already did.

sin_free_for_00_days ,

What would you use for a synonym for based? I keep seeing that used. I always thought it was just some alt-right meme bullshit, but I’m learning I was wrong. I still don’t get the use. My mind always thinks “based on what?”

ott ,

“Based” is typically used to describe someone who says/does something without caring if they’ll be judged for it. Most commonly, it’s shorthand for “That’s a controversial opinion and you are bold for saying it, but I agree with you.” It turns the previous sentence into an adjective, which is a little weird but it makes sense eventually.

So if I had to choose a single word as a synonym, I would say “Bold”.

All sensible points, nothing extreme, except maybe the Linus trademark super blunt delivery

Linus apitting facts

SolNine ,

Incredibly sensible take on all accounts in my opinion! I share all of the same opinions, though I lack the platform to be listened too haha.
