Linus Torvalds apologizes for his behavior, takes time off
I&#x27;m probably going to be alone in saying so, but I always enjoyed Linus and his attitude.<p>(to me) it made him appear honest and dedicated to (his own) goals, and I always felt like that was respectable. (mostly) whenever he was proven technically wrong about how to do something he would concede to the technically better solution, and if he didn&#x27;t do so he gave reasons for his conclusion.<p>in other words : his technical brilliance, in my own opinion, was a far larger boon than the problems stemming from having to deal with his knife-like personality.
