I mean it's fair to avoid "drama" no matter who stirs it, but most of their controversies were fairly well handled and largely overblown.

I think my biggest issue was the whole "trust me bro" "warranty", but that was mostly a cultural clash and Linus still had some good points even originally when he talked about it, even if the way he did so was extremely tone deaf.

    The tone deafness is it, you've put it better words that I could. It doesn't matter to me whether he was right or wrong about it, he still manages to come across as abrasive at best or smug and shitty at worst. Like, let Luke talk about it instead or something.

    The thing is, he does that fairly rarely, and seems to have mostly learned (to at least keep his mouth shut).

    And TBF I don't think he could build a company like that without a bit of cockyness, and he certainly does deserve recognition for what he achieved.

    The vast majority of stuff they do - even if it's a fuckup - they actually handle well and make everyone whole. In away they're sometimes forced a bit by circumstances but in general I feel like they're genuinely trying to do their best and be fair.
