Linus Torvalds Promises Profanity Over Linux 3.10-rc5

Posted by samzenpus on from the cover-your-ears dept.

hypnosec writes "Linus Torvalds has released Linux 3.10-rc5, and he is certainly not happy with the changes merged last week. Rc5 is bigger than rc4 and has code scattered across its entire code base because it addresses many outstanding problems. In the release announcement, Torvalds noted, 'I wish I could say that things are calming down, but I'd be lying. rc5 is noticeably bigger than rc4, both in number of commits and in files changed (although rc4 actually had more lines changed, so there's that).' Torvalds has warned that he is going to start cursing again, and said, 'I'm going to call you guys out on, and try to come up with new ways to insult you, your mother, and your deceased pet hamster.'"

      No - I refuse to restrict myself to your definition of "modern full-feature DE's". There is really no need for these desktop environments. Eye candy is eye candy, and it adds little to nothing to the user experience over something such as Enlightenment or Mate. Further, there are various desktops that are more "lightweight" yet, and some of them are quite attractive. (personally, I don't find them ALL to be attractive - but that is somewhat beside the point) Waste is waste, it's really that simple.

    This is why businesses choose Microsoft.

  3. Linus, Shut the Fuck Up by EmagGeek · · Score: -1, Troll

    Linus, listen, you may be the father of the Kernel, but it is not your Kernel. It is not your own private property. You are enjoying the notoriety that comes on the backs of thousands of developers who, by the way, are working for free.

    Shut the fuck up already. We're all tired of your childish bullshit. Bugs need to be fixed, and if a lot of them get fixed in a particular release, so be it. Shut your goddamn mouth for a change, understand that the Kernel has exceeded your ability to "go it alone," and get the FUCK out of everyone's way.

    Fuck you very much, and have a nice day.

    Ive been contrubiting code since 1998.

    Linux is regressing.

    It's broken. Get rid of Torvalds.

  5. Is Linus really that stupid? Yes, yes he is. by Cammi · · Score: 0, Troll

    How about Linus does his job instead of complaining like a spoiled teenager? All he has to do is reject the commit and provide a link with the standards. If the idiot decides to submit again, ban the griefer. He has no right to complain about anyone but himself. He is sounding more and more like the mental nutcase, RMS. While I might get modded down, any rational person will see the logic.

    Here's my message to you. No one fucking cares about your opinion. Especially not the maintainer of the linux kernel.
