Sometimes I just have a feeling Linus is playing dumb. I know he knows better but for example when you get a timed task to compress some files into a ZIP you sure are not foolish enough to make it harder for yourself and select files gigabytes in size if this is not a requirement of the task. And then he even wonders why compression is taking so long.
- ChuckNorris89 5y ago>Sometimes I just have a feeling Linus is playing dumb. I don't think he was playing dumb in that case. I think he was frustrated by the Linux challenge and didn't enjoy it one bit so he did all the tasks in a sloppy, "let's just get this over with" manner, which caused him to make silly mistakes that could have been prevented if he would have done 60 seconds of googling "how do I x on Linux" before plowing head first into everything. But I can completely understand him. He's the CEO and the face of a multi million dollar media company and a family man with kids, hardly the person with the spare time and inclination to be learning the quirks of a new OS between running a company and spending time with a family, when he just wanted to use that little spare time to play the vidja games he liked on Linux instead of Windows, not study the new OS beforehand. And I think his attitude can be found in many average joes who don't find the experience of learning a new OS enticing and just expect a seamless transition from Windows/MacOS to Linux.
