He expressed frustration at the need for manufacturers to modify the Linux kernel to eliminate bugs caused by hardware defects.
Torvalds specifically highlighted the problem with new Intel processors that support LAM (Linear Address Masking) technology. According to him, he was tired of correcting mistakes and defending against theoretical attacks that were never used in practice.
He believes that the responsibility for these problems should rest with hardware manufacturers, not software developers.
Torvalds had previously criticized AMD for using fTPM and called on the company to disable the feature as it could cause operational problems.
It should be noted that his direct grumbling statements towards manufacturers have been known in the IT community for a long time.
