How many of those billions of installs were enabled by Torvalds telling Mauro Carvalho Chehab to "SHUT THE FUCK UP" after Mauro tried to explain a previous patch? Try to be as specific as you can, thanks.
How many of the people whining about this problem have ever submitted a Linux kernel patch or considered it and said they wouldn't because of him? Name names, thanks.
Do your own research. Various mailing lists are littered with the names of people who've dropped out because of toxic working environment.
I will never submit a patch to the linux kernel, specifically, and only, because I cannot support Linus's attitude towards mailing list discussions.
