He followed legal advice from lawyers and removed some russians from being kernel maintainers to comply with sanctions.

People are more mad about how he did it rather than just the action he took. If he just explained why without being a prick nobody would care.

We have to face is Linus might be good intentionned but his years on the internet have made him an remorseless abrasive juvenile dickhead. I wish he’d lampshade it because most of the tine he comes off as just a nasty arogant goblin. It’s clear he feels permitted for his accomplishment and hard work to take his frustrations on others and it’s clear he knows it’s really not fucking helping but it seems he simply can’t help himself. Like being nice is a sign of weakness.
