Linus Torvalds is an important figure for kernel development and the general existence of Linux, but he should not be treated as an authority on everything Linux- or software-adjacent because of that.
For example, it has very little to say what desktop environment he prefers, or if he uses LLMs to develop his personal projects. The world could do with less idolization.

Quoting this again because it extends to the recent happenings as well. The recent proposal from the LF should be condemned and fought against, but you shouldn't be surprised by it, and in general, you really shouldn't be giving them as much credit for the Linux desktop as some people seem to do.
The #Linux Foundation is way less relevant for the Linux desktop space than you might think. The "Linux" in its name is a little misleading, because while it does indeed support the development of the Linux kernel, it also oversees a bunch of other projects. It's not at all comparable to e.g. the #GNOME Foundation, #KDE e.v. or the #Debian project.
It's not run by the same kind of people, and does not have the same kind of goals. It does not concern itself with the ideology of the free software movement, or the "community" in the sense that you and I perceive that word.
It exists as a collaboration ground for corporations, and primarily serves the interests of those.
State of #GNOME UX: almost twenty years in and IMHO worse than ever. The human interface guidelines were imposed top-down and you can see it; in general nothing makes sense either for new or established users and yet people "at the top" seem convinced they are doing the right thing for the people.
