Linus needs to make no corrections to his behaviour. His apology was needless.
He only flames those who make dumb mistakes, should know better, keep doing it, and don’t respect the gravity of the situation. Linux is used on MARS. Pretend to care.
There is a pattern to the people who get upset when they’ve earned a rebuke from Linus. Those people could get over themselves.
Also, humiliating someone in front of the whole LKML list by calling their code garbage isn’t constructive. It’s the reason why a lot of people take one look at that toxic cesspit and walk the other way.
[I]f you have anything to do with security in a distro, and think that my kids (replace ‘my kids’ with ‘sales people on the road’ if you think your main customers are businesses) need to have the root password to access some wireless network, or to be able to print out a paper, or to change the date-and-time settings, please just kill yourself now. The world will be a better place,

Well, kind of.
Linus needs to call out bad code, it’s an important part of Linux’s quality control. He doesn’t need to tell people to kill themselves.

Especially when people look at him talk like this and then emulate that. Thinking that it’s no big deal.
Yea anger issues is no joke
That happened in 2012 and a lot has changed with Linus since then.
