Calling people names won't change much. Although I sympathized with Linus' message in some of his comments, its form was, let's be frank, hard to tolerate. If you had a workmate who was highly competent but would scream at you "what is this brainfucked shit" etc., I guess it wouldn't be a nice place to work. At least I personally avoid such people and in the worst cases just leave. And I'm saing this in spite of the fact I admire Linus and agree with the actual contents of his inflammatory posts.
> Open source is now woke. That's all.
"Open source" is a wide term. You are right that there are many especially younger developers, and especially from the USA who are emphasizing certain aspects like inclusivity etc. I agree that the effects of their efforts might be debatable but saying "open source is now woke" is an overstatement. Not to mention that many projects are run by old-timers who not necessarily agree with whatever is en vogue now but don't consider it necessary to make all their views public.
