Linus is not an asshole and no one thinks assholes are 'cool'. This comes across as a distorted framing of the issue to fit a preconceived bias.

There are millions of lkml posts that don't get posted here, only the ones where Linus has to tick someone off or express a disagreement, usually posted with zero context or history.

If your impression of Linus is based solely on posts that make it to HN you have a lot of catching up to do.

Also plenty of people think assholes are cool, otherwise Dan Bilzerian would be a janitor.

Obviously assholes would find other assholes 'cool'. It's self defining.

Simply stated that every HN post about him seems praise worthy of an assholey comment.
