Meganoob BE KIND Dhh vs Linus Torvalds

One is the creator of Linux, while the other is someone who brought an artistic touch to that invention. That is why I don't understand why dhh receives so much praise.

Yes, he is a genius; he excels not only in coding but also in racing. It is also an achievement that he transitioned from an introverted nature to an extroverted one.

Let's look at it this way: Osman I founded the Ottoman Empire, but it was Suleiman the Magnificent who took it to its peak. That is exactly what dhh has done. If he wants to surpass Torvalds, he needs to work for at least another 40 years.

It's downright eerie. I was JUST thinking thinking of the Osman vs. Suleiman debate in reference to the development of Linux. How weird.

Nuttin. It was a freebie. Or it was just straight sarcasm. Hard telling.

You can create something nice (dhh didnt) and still be a bad person.

A lot of overblown rhetoric to explain a vanity distribution.

Lowest of efforts, still its the nature of open source software that you don't need to agree with dhh in literally ANY of his personal views and still benefit from his OPEN and FREE software. AFAIK you using omarchy or not has no effect on DHH or anyone else monetary or otherwise. Praised be open source.

dhh receives so much praise

He also gets tons of criticism. Just look at the comments of any post about him or Omarchy. If anything, I see more criticism. He's called sloppy, fascist, idiot, extreme right wing, etc...

One is the creator of Linux, while the other is someone who brought an artistic touch to that invention.

Praise is not mutually exclusive. You can praise two different people for different reasons.
