"I started Linux as a desktop operating system… and it's the only area where Linux hasn't completely taken over. That just annoys the hell out of me."

"One of the things none of the distributions have ever done right is application packaging… making binaries for Linux desktop applications is a major fucking pain in the ass."

"The main reason there are no raw devices [in Linux] is that I personally think that raw devices are a stupid idea."

"Even if the Hurd didn't depend on Linux code… I think they have their design heads firmly up their asses anyway with that whole microkernel thing."

"Linux is not one of those anti‑AI projects… if somebody has issues with that, they can do the open‑source thing and fork it. Or just walk away."

"I will very loudly ignore people who try to argue against other people from using [LLM tools]."

"AI is a tool… and it's clearly a useful one. Anybody who doubts that clearly hasn't actually used it."

"Anybody who points to the problems at AI had better be looking in the mirror… natural intelligence isn’t always all that great either."

"The Linux philosophy is 'Do it yourself.'"

"Note that nobody reads every post in linux‑kernel… except Alan Cox, but he’s actually not human, but about a thousand gnomes working in underground caves."
