I mentioned "oligarchy" earlier. That is how the Linux project is governed and it fucking sucks. If this was any other project, we would be talking shit about how Linus runs things with his little clique of sycophants all the fucking time.
Tired of programmers who don't know how to manage a project or community for shit.
-
Linus is a shitty project manager. We all understand this, we just don't like to say it out loud "because omg he invented Linux!!!".
But that's what it is.
-
There is a rot at the heart of the Linux project and it originates with Linus Torvalds.
If we don't cut out the rot, the whole project will wither and die soon enough.

somebody boost this thread into fosstodon.org. I want to fight some fools.
-
or even better social.kernel.org.

inb4 someone tells me "I don't really understand Linux"
lol lmao
-
read my bio before you tell me shit about Linux that I've known for more than a decade.
"Tired computer enjoyer. Sysadmin"
Yes, that means Linux sysadmin.

@packetcat you might find they are way older than 20, from speaking to the young folk round here (even those who are into tech) most have given up with Linux (other than for streaming media servers) and stick with Windows (we even had to do that on the community radio station as we couldn't get Libretime to reliably work and the maintainers seem to have mostly walked away)

@packetcat @onepict It's interesting that some of the nicest people I met at Linux cons were the BSD folk.
