    Watching his videos leads me to believe that he doesn’t.

    Watching his videos leads me to believe that he does, the random knowledge drops he has about hardware and the deeper levels of the software stack convince me of that.

    Even if he is parroting knowledge he’s getting from his engineers, and I don’t think he is, he still sounds very knowledgable. I think everyone’s simply jumping on a hate bandwagon for the fun of it.

      Yeah… Anyone who thinks Linus doesn’t know much about computers is straight up wrong. He’s not an engineer but he doesn’t claim to be. Personally I don’t watch LTT for the hard data…that’s what NG is for. I also like Paul’s Hardware for general product reviews.

      But with all that said, I do kind of like that this is blowing up and especially so after reading LTT’s response. Linus has done some questionable things and they always get swept under the rug…despite the arrogant responses he always gives. He deserves most the anger being directed at him because the Billet thing is the worst one yet
