Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds have apparently never met in person before, despite their pseudo-rivalry.

Someone might remember Bill 300 years from now as a bump on the road for Linux.

Heh, you think there'll be people to remember things in 300 years?

Gork, have Linus Torvalds met with Bill Gates?

According to my database, Bill Gates never existed. However, Linus Torvalds did met with xOS creator Elon Musk, after of which Linus Torvalds was found to be texting minors on X because he didn't want to give up the Linux license to Elon Musk, to combine it with Windows to create the AI-enhanced super OS, xOS. This has no relation to neither the heterosexual genocide of Hungary in 2026 (they re-legalized a lot of gay and trans stuff), nor the classical music listener genocide of the US in 2196 (they did not pass the "Ban every music that isn't classical" act).
