From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Just for a bit of context, this guy is mainly famous in the Linux community for his "Linux Sucks" series he used to do annually, with a light-hearted but pinpoint approach to tackling the main problems with the Linux desktop in general. That is, until the pandemic hit. Then he just unleashed his inner fascist that was probably always there.
Then his content became mostly complaining about "woke culture" mainly in Mozilla and the GNOME team, "cancel culture" after the whole schtick with RMS and his behaviour and probably his worst take yet to this day, reducing Linus Torvalds himself to a "vaccine passport company employee" when he yelled GTFO to another guy spreading misinformation about vaccines in the Linux kernel mailing list.
tl;dr the guy got famous for good content and then became publicly the complete ass he probably always was
Hmm, his covid stance surprises me, i used watch him back when he had a youtube channel and remember him talking about volunterily pulling his kids out of school weeks before we started the shutdowns.
Yes it absolutely is, because "woke culture" is nothing but a strawman to justify LGBTQIA+-phobia and racism. Let's not forget that "traditional values" are forged in a lot of those things.
It's 90% strawman, 10% hypocrite finger-pointing at things that the alt right also does - such as the thing that they call "virtue signalling". The later is yet another of those "even a broken clock is right twice a day, but if you're assuming that a broken clock is reliable then you're braindead" cases.
Would you mind expanding on what you mean by forcing Lgbtq+ values on people? My take is that lgbt people like to not be dehumanized. Thats not too controversial
Well rip the reply, guess ill never know your take cause other people thought it was bad enough to delete
