      You can start now!


      I am no developer, but I’ve submitted my first patch a few months ago.

      It simply added my laptop to a list of quirks, in order to make the microphone work.

      Welcome to Open Source software where its ok to help once and never again. Thats actually not even a bad thing.

      Imagine there is this one project that kicks everyones autism and has many issues. But only a team of 100 people is allowed to change its code. I’d rather want the world to change the code and make it improve for everyones liking. Even if it was just one commit and never again.

      Think about it this way. It’s a social project. Everybody does their part to help. If they can only help once, great! If they have time to help a few hours a week, great! If they want to help in a significant way, great!

      With these social projects, the most important thing is to help, even once.

          You’re right he can be a bit crass without needing to be. The outcome of his methods is exemplary, though.

              Why not be the change you wish to see, then? Fork it, and surely they will come.

              That or Linus’ work is of high enough quality that people are willing to put up with his crass behavior.

              Also, somewhat unrelated, but comparing Linus to Elon is a nonstarter. Elon has money, but contributes little more than ego past that. Linus, on the other hand, actually gets his hands dirty. I don’t care for his behavior, but I do respect someone who actually does the work.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
