Linus should stick to his kernel and git. It feels like he has very little knowledge about computing outside of those areas. That would also make his abrasive way of communicating easier to tolerate. He mostly comes across as the typical autistic savant type that's great at an extremely specific area, but only that.
No personal attacks on HN, please. Maybe you don't owe Linus better (though why not?), but you owe the community better if you want to post here.
Also, "typical autistic savant type" breaks the site guideline against calling names. Please don't do that.

Can you please not? Making an account to be anonymous on HN is fine in principle, but people sometimes start breaking the rules after they do so, and that is not cool.
