I don't think that's a fair comparison. Linux is a much larger OSS project than Devuan and has been running for much longer as well. Better to let Devuan reach the scale of Linux before attempting to use Denis “Jaromil” Roio niceness as a counterexample to Linus Torvalds. Even nice people have breaking points. They are perfectly capable of snapping back at you, if you push them hard enough.
