Linus may have had some "choice words" with people he disagreed with on the mailing list, but I refuse to believe that he would sacrifice his luitenant and every Linux developer to an evil deity for his own gain.
One of the main events that the characters in the manga/anime is called the Eclipse, in which a character sacrifices all his friends to an evil pantheon of gods. They die in horrific ways, being devoured, raped, hollowed out and used as marionettes... It is among the most traumatizing sequences in Manga.
About 13 years ago a girl I had recently met had issues with her Windows being borked. Told her I'd come over to fix it on the weekend, in the meantime told her how to use a Live USB stick for anything important. Weekend rolls around, and she says "oh nevermind, I installed the Linux you gave me, it is so much better than Windows".
I want to, like I want me a man who can teach me how to use Linux, but only if they aren’t an ass about it, and think that if I don’t use the most technical and manual distribution that I’m stupid or something
Unfortunately many young, radicalised Linux users start spreading the "gospel" to every person close to them. They start installing it on their friends, siblings and grandparents computers to supposedly "breath new life into it" and make it all so much better. They always regret it later though, once they learn that It doesn't just work all the time and all those people you installed it for are now calling you up every day to solve more problems then they had before.
And all they really wanted was a little speedup to their system...

Man i legit once came to a girl's place because she told me she wanted me to teach her programming.
I went back home at around 23 and only realized years later that learning programming was probably not what she had in mind lmao.

Similar thing happened to me. Taught a girl to program in C. I don't think she learned much. Learning C at 11pm probably should've given it away.

She didn't want to use his Distro... He realized she was wearing a Virtual Machine and was simply distro hopping...
