I think, to some extent, Linus cultivates this image himself. Reminds me of Richard Feynman threads here on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8030010 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8030010 Someone commented (not sure it was on HN) that Feynman also cultivated a different, more "rough", image in public than he actually was in the real life.
