Comment on Linus Torvalds: “GitHub creates useless garbage merges”parent

Comments

Linus is why I generally don't use Linux unless I absolutely have to.

I guess looking at your user info you like BSD? I like *BSD better than Linux. But it's not due to personal feelings about Linus, and I respect his talents and good eye for a lot of technical things.

Yep, been using FreeBSD on the Desktop since 1996. I've used Linux for plenty of things, but I tend not to unless I need something thats written specifically for Linux. There's very little I need Linux itself for. My issues with Linus were a few design decisions, how stuff gets into the kernel, how the distributions work, how things are poorly tested/etc.

Sadly now that FreeBSD is using ZoL I'm encountering a bunch of problems related to that :(
