In fact, he's an early adopter of Asahi.  This is from his email announcing that he'd tagged and released kernel version 5.19:




Basically for him it's a big deal if you get to do native development on a machine which doesn't suck, and prior to Apple Silicon Macs there weren't ARM personal computers which did not suck, so he thought that was going to limit ARM's inroads into the server market.


As he is in fact a dick well known for unhinged ranting, I'm guessing that he went off about those pre-AS machines at some point and this got reported as "Linus Torvalds says ARM sucks".  That's one of the annoying things about the guy, he's prone to letting his outbursts of nerd rage drive the narrative (and drive people away from contributing to the Linux kernel).


Number of states in our country minus the number of Supreme Court Justices?
