Yes, plus Linus is relevant and important for both linux and git.
Git has been hugely, positively disruptive in a way no Dvcs was prior.
And anyone (cnn evidently) that thinks Linux developers are fungible misses the point of having a fierce, opinionated, blunt semi-dictator running the show. Great things can happen. He's the anti-steve jobs.
- spitfire 15y ago"fierce, opinionated, blunt semi-dictator running the show." That doesn't sound like the anti-Steve Jobs to me. His complete lack of (aesthetic) taste might make him the anti-steve jobs though.
- lurker19 15y agoHe is the anti-Steve Jobs on the axis of closed/open systems. He is similar on other axes, which is what anti means for stuff like physic particles.
- LaGrange 15y agoHe has aesthetic taste, just for other things. He's the Steve Jobs of system internals.
- apetresc 15y agoWhat gives you the idea he is missing aesthetic taste? You do realize that Linus (or any of the kernel devs) are not in any way responsible for the decisions groups like Gnome or KDE may make, right?
