    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.

    Absolutely based from Torvalds. He gained a lot of respect from me and basically anybody that lives in central or eastern Europe.

      Source?

      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. And it’s also fair to not give sanctioned Russian companies a deep level of access to his kernel.

        And btw, for being Polish it seems weird that you constantly post in US politics communities and never in any polish ones.
