@tinker I would need to know the question, before I could have a proper opinion on the reply. But I don't see his position as surprising - how many LLMs run on Linux? Almost all of them?

Should it be about AI in general, Torvalds couldn't turn back time, even if he wanted to. Its wrong to expect that from him.
