Yeah, It’s not too common but as u know there are issues with people having power trips, maintainers stepping out of line to make changes they shouldn’t be (without telling anyone). People arguing with issues unrelated to the project itself, causing rifts in the community. It’s a shame because it undermines the intended purpose of open source Linux collaboration. At least it seems that Linus has become tamer these past few years. Didn’t he take a break or something to reflect on his behaviour 🤔

Oh yeah, totally. A lot of people in open source really need to take some lessons in how to interact with other human beings. We've seen this across most projects, starting with Linus Torvalds, but most projects have their issues with this...

Not trying to be mean to anyone, but Linux seems to have a recurring issue with communication, with people lacking communication skills. Tell me if I’m wrong cause I’m not that into Linux development in general 😅. The more this continues to occur the less volunteers and companies will choose to contribute their time and resources to Linux. If stuff like this happened at a company, HR would write you up 🤣
