 🇫🇮🇷🇺 Linux was accused of Russophobia: the company fired 11 Russian developers

Linux founder Linus Torvalds has dismissed 11 Russians responsible for the development of the operating system's kernel, according to media reports. The reason for the decision was "non-compliance with some requirements", but it is not specified which ones.

✖️ The Finnish company was accused of Russophobia on the web, after which the Linux kernel creator Linus Torvalds himself commented on the situation.

📝 "It is quite clear why there was a change. It won't be cancelled, and using a few random anonymous accounts to try to "sneak" it through Russian troll factories won't change anything. <...> Please rack your brains, as you call it. I'm Finnish. Did you really think I would support Russian aggression?", he wrote.🤯
