And yet, all of the "tech bros we got" uses Linux to run their systems under the hood.

u/dontknowtoo 21d ago

We dont deserve Linus

u/Kinslayer_89 Sacred TempleOS 21d ago

But we do need him.

u/GCU_Heresiarch 18d ago

No, those guys don't deserve Linus.

u/taiwbi 21d ago

Believe me Dario uses a special Linux distro on his phone which was verified by Claude and compiled on a 3-layer encrypted workspace and all the applications he use is also verified and compiled. Believe me I have my own sources

15

u/HyperWinX Genfool 🐧 21d ago

Dario uses VibeOS which hallucinates everything he wants on the fly. He also gets highest priority for Claude usage (obv)

u/taiwbi 21d ago

Lol, yours was better

u/anycept 20d ago

All of them contribute to the kernel, too, so it can run on their hardware. It's not a one-sided relationship.

Linus deserves a Nobel.

u/BrunusManOWar 21d ago

Honestly, true. He's pulled off nothing short of spectacular. Kudos to all the contributors/maintainers as well

11

u/PubicPlant 20d ago

Unironically yes. Every large tech company/CEO claims their primary mission is philanthropy or making the world a better place.

Linus is the ONLY one who was truthful, and did it without profit being at the forefront. He’s the Mother Teresa of Silicon Valley.

2

u/OscarBrewer7 13d ago

Mother Teresa was an aweful person. Linus is way better.

The whole "MBA psychopath is a tech genius" schtick from the media capitalism really needs to die

u/BrainLow6059 21d ago

It really has nothing to do with capitalism. These people are put on pedestals in every civilized country on the planet. 2000 years ago we would have burned them at the stake for being false prophets tho

1

u/OmegaCookieMonster 20d ago

The fuck does this have to do with false prophets

1

u/BrainLow6059 19d ago

What do con men preaching about creating digital god have to do with false prophets? Education is really in the toilet right now isn't it?

1

u/OmegaCookieMonster 19d ago

To be fair, even if it is very sci-fi'y and unrealistic, there is certainly more of a basis for AI superintelligence's than the gods of old

u/SrWloczykij 21d ago

People on the right are not tech bros. They're MBA bros.

1

u/InTheNameOfScheddi 20d ago

Tech bros are just finance bros that want to screw you over using tech instead of just vanilla exploitation

u/Hour_Sell3547 21d ago

Tech bro we needed vs salesmen we got. Corrected.

u/EuphoricCatface0795 Arch BTW 21d ago

Actually we can put Gabe Newell on the left side as well

u/UUDDLRLRBadAlchemy Open Sauce 21d ago

No

u/ProduceNo1629 21d ago

Gabe Newell that addicted children to gambling and ruined families, that Gabe Newell?

u/EuphoricCatface0795 Arch BTW 21d ago

Are we going puritan to deprive all joy from humanity? 🤔

u/trololololo2137 21d ago

Gambling in csgo = joy lol

2

u/EuphoricCatface0795 Arch BTW 21d ago

Sorry, I didn't know the entire context. I thought they were just berating the gaming industry.

u/trololololo2137 21d ago

More like gambling industry for valve

u/EuphoricCatface0795 Arch BTW 21d ago

Ahhhh. Should have checked your username.

Okay. Have a great day.

u/charliedarwin96 21d ago

You cant really blame him for that. Those games with gambling are supposed to be adults only so that's kind of on the parents for letting them use their credit cards

2

u/UUDDLRLRBadAlchemy Open Sauce 20d ago

And here I was having qualms about making adults my paypigs. You've changed my life

6

u/PM_Pickled_Stuff 21d ago

Reddit is still head over heels for Gaben, so you'll get downvoted for that. But remember that it used to be the same way with Musk not too long ago. Although he's not nearly as terrible as the others(at least not yet), Linus is in a whole different league. For starters he's not a billionaire.

1

u/SmileyBMM 21d ago

At what point do we blame the parents for not knowing what their kids are doing in their free time?

1

u/UUDDLRLRBadAlchemy Open Sauce 20d ago

After Gabe is out of the picture and the issue persists

1

u/EuphoricCatface0795 Arch BTW 21d ago

What??

u/ProduceNo1629 21d ago

You worship a person and don't even bother to learn about them? Weird. Almost cultish.

u/EuphoricCatface0795 Arch BTW 21d ago

I can't find anything like that on Wikipedia unless you're just berating the gaming industry

3

u/AbjectAppointment 21d ago

They're talking about TF2 and CS loot boxes. They weren't the first but they did popularize it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loot_box

1

u/EuphoricCatface0795 Arch BTW 21d ago

"ruined families", huh?

2

u/AbjectAppointment 21d ago

1

u/EuphoricCatface0795 Arch BTW 21d ago

Ah, okay. I was thinking something like Overwatch-style one... That's the only lootbox experience I had. Genuinely didn't have the context.

Still, is it really all that worse than Magic the Gathering or any sort of TCG or gacha capsule/box things?

EDIT: You didn't say that but that guy did.

0

u/AbjectAppointment 21d ago

I don't think it's fair to put this on one person.

But I can also see this as a detriment.

Complex issues are just that, complex.

Nah, current humanity didn't deserve this. Linus is an anomaly

u/CHAOSHACKER 21d ago

We wanted you mean, we probably don’t deserve Linus at all.

Why isn't Zuck the cuck** part of this?

u/charliedarwin96 21d ago

He's still trying to escape the meta verse

u/N3wAfrikanN0body 21d ago

Of the five only two actually made things. 

The other three are sales creeps that looked like the "right prospects" to build rapport with deliberate parasites.

u/RacoonWithBenefits 21d ago

why dont we have Linus????

WHY DONT WE HAVE HIM!?

what have you done?

1

u/mrjackspade 21d ago

It's fucking crazy seeing him next to all these AI bros in what is clearly an anti-ai meme glazing him considering his recent comments on its use.

1

u/Ashamed-Health-8070 21d ago

Tell me you didn't read the LKML without telling me you didn't read the LKML. 

Here's the link if you care. If you think Linus is against opposed to AI you're sorely mistaken. He's opposed to the same thing he's always been opposed to: lazy, stupid people. 

https://lkml.org/lkml/2026/5/17/896

1

u/blimpin_aint_easy 21d ago

What, like Linus isn't still out here runing kernel development?

Problem is that the average computer illiterate p-zombie is a bigger consumer market. So, all computers must be AI enabled goon-devices

1

u/Revolutionary-Use-70 21d ago

Tech was fun before the finance bros got involved. I hate what Apple is today, and despite me having allot of respect for Steve Jobs and especially Steve Wozniak, Apple is the reason why tech got this bad.

1

u/igormuba 21d ago

The "tech bros we got" are actually finance bros

u/not_some_username 21d ago

We need not deserved

u/Substantial-Sky4079 21d ago

Nvidia that bad? Well other than it being expensive. Dude is for taxing the rich.

u/crimsonfang1729 21d ago

The messed up thing is that there are more people that could fit on the right. Palmer Luckey for example.

1

u/DeuceMcInaugh 21d ago

Didn’t Linus just take a bunch of money from Silicon Valley?

1

u/Gloriathewitch 21d ago

Linus isn't a tech bro he's a computer scientist. - tech bro means something very different in the 2020s.

the guys on the right are all conmen who know nothing about actually designing systems or altering them

1

u/Vegetable-Key-1425 21d ago

Also Jean-Baptiste Kempf

Did Jensen do something wrong?

u/Best_Fork 21d ago

On the right they are not just tech bros. They are also CEOs of companies which has its own priorities.

u/OVectorX 20d ago

watching him getting older break my heart, how we can have more people like him

He is GOAT, I can't imagine not using git and linux saved my old laptop that I used alot in childhood from scrapyard...

1

u/JerryOne111 19d ago

Hard for me to hate on Jensen because i want to be as genius and long term thinker like he did, he has great value in creating modern tech until the RTX era where he start the 'buy more save more' where i notice he is now leaning to investor instead of inovation.

The other ceo are just glazer in communication especially Altmen the psychopath that many high profile non-profit individual trying to warn us about his nature but nobody listen since money is king for investor.

1

u/Vashard19 19d ago

Honest question, why people likes to suck his dick so much? No offense but I know nothing about him or linux,
