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.

Just search. It's easy. There's heaps of data on LTT being shit, but particularly in Linus being a greedy, grubby little man.

Scroll down to 'controversy' and see if that's someone you want to support.
Watching his content should be enough to inform you of that.
Otherwise it is a very simple search on youtube, there are multiple very well known issues.
Spoon-fed opinions serve little purpose.
