I'm just wondering, because I have seen some negative comments on here about him, but they don't usually provide specifics.

Linus asked to handle it privately in a meeting at CES I believe, to keep drama out of the tech space. Linus specifically said he did not want to start drama and hoped to bury the hatchet.

Louis somehow decided it was a good idea to start massive public drama instead of trying to resolve it quietly.

Steve using Louis to fire shots while pretending to be on the high ground and not responding publicly was also rather pathetic.

Linus has certainly made some mistakes but GN framing LTT as the bastion of evil is comically stupid. Especially with the massive improvement LTT went through last year.
