In-case you didn’t know, Linus Sebastian of LTT media made a video with Linus Torvalds. If you watched the video, what are your thoughts?
BTW, he uses Fedora.
Smart Linus dropping good natured zingers on Less Smart Linus was the tonic I didn’t know I needed.
Woah, cool.
It’s no secret that their names are, well, the same. I’m glad we’re seeing some kind of collaboration.
It was really fun to watch honestly, it flew by. I’m surprised how charismatic the smart Linus is on camera
It’s worth it for the Elon burn alone.
Once my arch system break I’m probably moving to fedora.
So like a week from now?
Is that some meme? My system has been rock solid for years.
Listen, if Debian users can take all the “Debian==old and bad” flak, you can handle a little ribbing about arch.
Oh yeah I have to deal with software that noticeably changes multiple times per decade! Spoooooky!
You mean you are using debian and didn’t know it.

Probably 🤣
Is this enough to update the Fedora Linux wikipedia page, or is it still just “the distribution used by Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel (as of May 2020)”? It isn’t exactly confirmed but … like what else is he gonna use. I don’t know if he’d be caught dead using Debian or Arch, and OpenSUSE would be too wild a choice.
People in here like to hate, but there’s a damn good reason. The majority of the people who are vocal about distribution choice aren’t contributors, long-time users, or experts in the field. A lot of us who are just want a simple, quick installing, porting, “out of the way” (no heavy customizations) and functional distro with a large user base, and a solid team behind it. This means it’s not going to immutable, and it’s not going to to be by Canonical.
A lot of us use Fedora for this exact reason.
Or Mint. I use Mint because it works with minimal hassle.
Mint doesn’t use Gnome or KDE, which is why devs generally steer clear. It’s best to be coding and running the thing the most number of users will be experiencing.
I’m considering distro-hopping from Kubuntu to Fedora Kinoite. I just am trying to figure out how it fairs in terms of application sandboxing, what they’re doing on supply chain security (re: XZ Utils) and whether I might want to give GNOME another shake.
I mean, I feel like he outright confirms it in the video. It’s his distro of choice since it allows him to easily use his own compiled kernels in testing. Anything else is an inconvenience to his work.
Ah, but primary recountings aren’t sources, you first need to write an article or book about it (according to Wikipedia sometimes)
Interviews do typically count, it just has to be citable. Videos are sufficient in that regard as well, not just articles or books. It would be different if Torvalds had edited his own wikipedia page, but an editor who updates the page and cites this video would not be in the wrong.
Probably not, at least not until there is coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources. Wikipedia generally doesn’t include trivia.
