It's silly because it isn't a valid point. Linus flip flopping on those brands is precisely why he isn't suffering from fanboyitis.

It's kind of rediculous to claim he's a fanboy in one sentence then claim he's just a shill in the next when the evidence contradicts your first statement.

Well, again, I disagree. It's ridiculous to see a behaviour with your own eyes and then choose to believe it's the opposite.

What behavior exactly? Got receipts?

Because from what I see he's both called Intel on it's bullshit and still worked with them on a professional level.

Same for amd.

As for apple, they funded a whole new Apple channel without Linus precisely because he knows he couldn't be unbias.

Yes, and I agree that you can see those actions as being contrary to my proposed scenario. I sort of see them as evidence in the other direction, but it's good to hear it said out loud. Makes good food for thought.
