  Yes, something that wasn’t published to my knowledge until after a xenophobic rant

    It was known beforehand.

    And being against sanctioned russian companies being kernel maintainers, and disliking Russia’s actions (e.g. invasion, mass rape, genocide) isn’t xenophobic.

      I live in Poland…

      Also, disliking the Russian state is different from disliking Russian people

        People were saying it in the comments before the recent press release even came out. Do you think they knew it by magic?

        Good thing Linus was never talking about Russian people in general then, isn’t it?

        Completely reasonable for Linus not to like such an aggressive, genocidal shithole of a country.
