From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Far right nutjob? Crypto bro? That is what I have been hearing... Can't say for sure, though.
Those are just insults people, who cannot gasp that someone could have a slightly different opinion about something, use against him.
Some political things about him include: He ...
Obviously depends on what is meant with "far right nutjob". If it implies that anarchy (no government) is the opposite of socialism (far left - maximum government) then yeah but usually it just means "massive bigot", which I don't think he is, otherwise give source.
Similar with crypto bro. For me it means the pump and dump scheme scammer or at least someone who is pro crypto because he sees it as a mean to get rich quick. But if "Crypto bro" just means anyone who likes the advantages of crypto, then he indeed is one.
But regardless of how we name things, he doesn't have any evil values (as far as I know). He just has different opinions than the average lemmy user. It should not be hard to tolerate him, considering this platform is a mass murderer fanclub (actual evil values, not just "quirky" politics).
Sorry, maybe i'm a little ignorant but, why do you say this is a "mass murderer fanclub"?
