  - wears sandals with socks

[zo1]

It's a European thing. And actually very comfortable if you can get those little things between your toes while your socks are on.

[wj]

It is also common in the Pacific Northwest (where Linus lives) and the Midwest. Basically places where you can't wear sandals all year round.

> It's a European thing.

Pff. Socks in sandals is basically considered a fashion-sin by most people. But I can only speak for my part of Europe.

[nileshtrivedi]

It's a way to filter out those people who consider fashion important. ;-)

[Dewie]

"Most people find it a fashion-sin", as in most people, including those who don't even care about Fashion.

[dimitar]

yes, at home. This is a good way to save on heating bills.

[arocks]

Which is surprisingly practical and comfortable in warm places.

[bicknergseng]

I guess Portland summers are warmish.

[lukasm]

My God Linus is Polish.

[metaobject]

I'd say his old desk is messy, not dirty.

[smorrow]

Airduster is one way to take off the dirt without having to take off the books and whatever.

[wj]

-uses terminal windows with white backgrounds

[Havoc]

Exactly. Everyone knows that black background with bright green text improves hacking skills by 23%.

[notduncansmith]

I noticed this as well. It's funny, usually my first reaction to seeing someone with a white editor background is "noob".

[Touche]

Appeared to be using Gnome 3 as well.

[donniezazen]

I have always found it pretty interesting that he has the most uninteresting setups.

[jokoon]

well yeah, that's the minimalist "KISS" spirit... I guess when you're so much dedicated to what you do, you don't really have time or will to care about details.

[donniezazen]

I don't think he cares about KISS philosophy. I think he has found what he likes to do and that helps him stay focus and cut noise while most meddle with productivity techniques.

[stinos]

- he's a bit too fat

Maybe the desk will get rid of that though

[QuantumChaos]

he looks healthy and beautiful to me.

[stinos]

sure, that does not contradict my statement
