I don't think his behavior was at all out of the ordinary there for Linus, so if he lost credibility for you I don't understand why this would be only after this event. We'll see if it ends up being counter-productive after all, or if the public naming of nVidia as a bad actor causes them to shore up support even a tiny bit. His reaction certainly will make me reconsider an nVidia card for my next Linux machine: I didn't realize there was so much ire beyond the frustration that nVidia ships a binary blob. As-is things didn't seem to be going anywhere, and there were no signs that nVidia was at all unhappy with that situation.
