Its a very blunt statement but also the way certain people talk. I honestly don't think Torvalds wants the entire opensuse team tomkill themselves
He didn't say "hey,
<insert name here>
go kill yourself".
He said that if you're a dev and think its normal to require root password for changing time or connecting to a network, then please kill yourself.
It's more than anything an expression of frustration in which I recognize myself. I have to deal with a provider from which I won't be able to leave for at least another year, which is extremely expensive and extremely incompetent, causing me literally days of work and I have wished in more than one occasion that they would all die in a fire because it's all incompetent managers who don't do the work they cause all the shit.
When he talks to someone directly, he'll know, right, Mauro?
My impression is that Torvalds is actually a really nice guy he's just very very honest?
Torvalds has had anger management issues in the past. Not saying I don't understand with the shit he deals with.
He has told people that they should kill themself. I'm not trying to throw a shade on him but that's the unfortunate truth.
Context matters
