He writes Qt C++ for his diving app though.
I think Linus did it in C with GTK but who took it moved it C++ and Qt. Lazy searching didn't dig up the story.
It was originally Gtk and they rewrote it with Qt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGZyVSOnqm0
But Linus does write C++/Qt code: https://github.com/subsurface/subsurface/commit/1b16d570a1b6700295153bd6597b148b65000458
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
I write C++, but I don't like it. I don't think any one should be claiming Linus doesn't like it because he doesn't know it. If he wants to contribute to this project, it must be C++.
I didn't think anyone was making that claim? Either way I'm certainly not trying to.
Yes, this is true, it's just that he was also included in the decision making process to switch to it in the first place, and I feel like his continued use of it makes me think it doesn't have to be as awful as everyone makes it out to be, or he wouldn't use it at all.
Ask him. It's not like he has publically changed his mind. I think he just went with other developers he had handed the project to.
