He gets on to respond to whatever "stop the damn clickbait" threads blow up and leaves nebolus comments about his employees. T

That's about it afaik

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Not usually. Linus is a busy man, I would imagine he rarely has time to go on the forums.

Lienus.

He does and responds from time to time. What makes him great is that even though he's so big, he still really cares.

 

I once gave Luke and Linus pizza.

Proud member of the ITX club.

Linus will occasionally respond, but usually only to complaint threads or things that directly affect him (like the thread regarding the cancellation of the Chevy Volt, his car)

Brands I wholeheartedly reccomend (though do have flawed products): Apple, Razer, Corsair, Asus, Gigabyte, bequiet!, Noctua, Fractal, GSkill (RAM only)

Wall Of Fame (Informative people/People I like): @Glenwing @DrMacintosh @Schnoz @TempestCatto @LogicalDrm @Dan Castellaneta

We are Linus. We never drop  expensive  Hardware. We start the WAN show on time. Expect us. 5f7.jpg

There is no enemy. The foe on the battlefield is merely the manifestation of that which we must overcome. The doubt, and fear, and despair. Every battle is fought within. Conquer the battlefield that lies inside you, and the enemy disappears like the illusion it is.
