    I enjoyed it. Bit of a different way to do an interview.

    So the video is just the two of them pulling out a 20 year-old ThinkStation and plugging in a flash drive?

    Haven't watched the video yet, do they kiss passionately with tongue?

    The Elon burn was epic

    Linus (S) went extra annoying for 2/3 of the vid. He managed to be sort of professional and asked some decent questions, but for the majority of the time he was putting on a performance for the LTT crowd.

    I think I made it 5 minutes. Linus (S) can't be professional to save his life.

    You know the silly stuff at the start was actually Torvald's idea, right?

    Linus (Sebastian) spoke about how he didn't even get the reference but Torvalds prompted him to go and watch Highlander ("there can only be one!!")

    You should've kept watching it. There's some good stuff there.

    I laughed so hard at the highlander reference. It might just be that you gotta know the specific meme and culture to enjoy it. Even YouTube Linus didn't know the reference.

    Seeing the two Linus's pulling out katanas on each other was hilarious.

    Specifically referring to Linus's fan-girling all over Linus.

    God forbid someone who's made their life tech is very excited that Torvalds has come to visit them and turned out to be a really nice guy.

    Torvalds will probably be the highlight guest of his entire career, and he knows it. Of course that's enormously exciting.

    You didn't last long enough. Really good flowing interview after the initial over the top YouTube shenanigans

    I thought it was one of the better LTT videos for sure. Torvalds is much better on camera than he claims to be and it was interesting to see his outlook on a broad range of questions.

    Holy shit, never saw teeth that looked as fake as Linus T's (apart from obvious gold bling crap).
