Linux wrote a kernel, not the full OS user land. What's more, most of the code in Linux (the kernel) isn't actually written by him - these days he's job is more that of a maintainer. Not that I'm trying to undermine his achievements - just pointing out that you're making the same exaggerated arguments as the blogger you're condemning.

You mean like the bullet list you've just written?

Again, like you've just done. Let me explain with a little code:
($potkettleblack = $_) =~ s/tech blog/forums/;
> "Criticize what people say, not how they say it."
Which would be fine if the whole premise of your argument is complaining about not what the blog said by how the blogger said it.
Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of respect for Torvalds, but your comments were -at best- hypocritical. Though I'd say they were much worse than that as at least the blog in question added some content to compliment their clickbait headline. You've not even touched on the real subject matter of this topic.
