Linus Torvalds is the main developer of linux.

He often speaks harshly towards other contributors.

I'm not sure why OP is celebrating his cruelty. It's possible to recognize someone for their contributions to science while being critical of their personal choices and I don't know why they didn't do it.

This is a meme about how strong he would be if he did a pushup for every time he does that

He also traumatizes users. I'd say that Linus' behavior is often the best salesman for Windows.

He's way more polite than he was in past tho.

His behavior, I think, is a symbol of the behavior of Linux developers as a whole. Linus may have mellowed out, but he's still quite prickly, with his famous Quarterly Linus Rants™. Beyond that, Linux developers seem to really be quite difficult to work with in general. The most recent completely-avoidable-dramas that come to my mind are the bcachefs guy and Rust in Linux

To be COMPLETELY fair, the rust guy is the one who completely took what the linux developer said out of context, threw THE BIGGEST hissy fit about not getting his way, took Christoph's objection to not-C languages in the kernel as a personal attack against Rust specifically even though Christoph went out of his way to point out that it wasn't against Rust specifically but any other language including assembly, and then attacked him by trying to get him removed from the Linux maintainers team for saying the word "cancer" (which is an apt description for anything that metasticises, draws resources away from the host, and can potentially kill the host due to a breakdown in the ability to grow properly, which was his point).

In this case, it was the Rust developer's fault and the Rust developer being incredibly harsh, prickly, and manipulative - not Linux.

The only thing Linus did was come out and say that maybe the Rust developer is the problem - Linus was 100% in the right to do so.

Hence, completely avoidable drama
