Who "has to" put up with Linus? Linux is open-source software.
People who feel they are putting up with Linus can just `cp linux/ betterlinux/`. If it's actually better and Linus was holding things back by being an insufferabe cunt, they can expect a huge amount of people to switch to their fork as well.
- hegelstoleit 4y agoNobody "has to" have a job either. It's interesting how words can have different standards of necessity depending on how you contextualize them. Is a basketball player tall? If you asked his friend in the NBA after a game, he might say no because he's relatively short for an NBA player. Amongst everyone else, you'd say he is definitely tall. So no, in the strict sense, you don't "have to" put up with linus, that's obviously not what I meant. Nobody "has to" put up with anyone, ever. If you want to work on the linux kernel though, you do. Otherwise, you have to do what you just said - you have to provide a better alternative which is a huge ask.
