Linus Torvalds taking a break

...
The above is basically a long-winded way to get to the somewhat
painful personal admission that hey, I need to change some of my
behavior, and I want to apologize to the people that my personal
behavior hurt and possibly drove away from kernel development
entirely.

I am going to take time off and get some assistance on how to
understand people’s emotions and respond appropriately.

He is a bit of an eccentric fellow, but definitely not autistic.

He does not like people at all.

I empathize with the way he communicates sometimes.
