I'm always surprised to read about how awful the linux community sounds, given how great the product is. Digging into the psych here is a wild goose chase because you're starting without a useful impression of what the kernel community is like. Unless you're already a kernel dev, you only hear about kernel maintenance if the drama blows up big enough to wind up in your periphery. The kernel community is about work, it's generally way too fucking boring for anyone other than Jon Corbet to report on. If you want to analyze the kernel culture, then the things that do show up on your radar are just anchoring your assumptions. Even if they turn out to be right, it's still bad craftsmanship to extrapolate from them alone.
