== Linus Torvalds on LKML ==

[[Linus Torvalds]] is known for angrily disagreeing with other developers on the LKML.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-06-16/the-creator-of-linux-on-the-future-without-him | work=Bloomberg | first=Ashlee | last=Vance | title=The Creator of Linux on the Future Without Him | date=June 16, 2015}}</ref> Calling himself a "really unpleasant person", he later explained "I'd like to be a nice person and curse less and encourage people to grow rather than telling them they are idiots.

His attitude, which Torvalds considers necessary for making his point clear, has drawn opposition from [[Intel]] programmer [[Sage Sharp]] and [[systemd]] developer [[Lennart Poettering]], among others.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.slashdot.org/story/14/10/06/1837237/lennart-poettering-open-source-community-quite-a-sick-place-to-be-in|title=Lennart Poettering: Open Source Community "Quite A Sick Place To Be In"|publisher=Slashdot|date=2014-10-06|accessdateaccess-date=2015-11-08}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.networkworld.com/article/2988850/opensource-subnet/linux-kernel-dev-sarah-sharp-quits-citing-brutal-communications-style.html|title=Linux kernel dev Sarah Sharp quits, citing 'brutal' communications style|first=Jon|last=Gold|publisher=Network World|date=2015-10-05|accessdateaccess-date=2015-11-08}}</ref> In 2018 Torvalds took a break from kernel development to work on improving his behavior and instituted a [[code of conduct]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Torvalds Apologizes for His ‘Bad Behavior’, Takes a Break from Linux |url=https://itsfoss.com/torvalds-takes-a-break-from-linux/ |publisher=It's FOSS}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Linus Torvalds Is Taking A Break From Linux, Here’s Why? |url=https://fossbytes.com/linus-torvalds-taking-break-from-linux/ |publisher=Fossbytes}}</ref>
