     @itsfoss Need to dump Windows and put Linux on my PC. Going to put it off today so I can do it tomorrow.

     @itsfoss Always thought of it like a southerner (in the US) yelling at their code the same way they might yell at their dog. But it probably bears no relation to that picture.

     @itsfoss Linus Torvalds is my kind of crank.

     @itsfoss I thought GitHub was a social media site for arseholes when I first heard about it.

     @itsfoss No, Linus did not give name for Linux. At first, he named it as FreaX.
