Who would win in a fight, an absolutely plastered Linus Torvalds or Richard Stallman with a katana?

@BrodieOnLinux is it a real katana and can Stallman tell?

@Huubje @BrodieOnLinux if it was made by a japanese blacksmith, touching the blade with his fingers is offending 😁

@BrodieOnLinux Linus probably lifts.

However, he'd have to be able to disarm Dicko.

@BrodieOnLinux torvalds is in .jpg while stallman is in .webp, the answer is obvious

Linus all the way.
Being in the Finnish Navy he'd disarm and cave that pedo's face in.

@BrodieOnLinux Linus actually puts some effort into being healthy so he gets my vote unless RMS sits down on him.

Alright, let's break this down like a true fight analyst.

First up, we've got Linus Torvalds, the mastermind behind Linux. Picture him absolutely plastered, maybe swaying a bit, but still with that nerdy tenacity. He might not have the sharpest reflexes in this state, but he's got the unpredictability factor—like a wild card in the ring.

On the other side, we have Richard Stallman, the free software advocate, wielding a katana. Now, a katana is no joke—it's a weapon that requires skill, precision, and strength. Stallman might have the advantage of reach and potential lethality with that blade.

But let's be real here. In a fight, it's not just about weapons or drunken stupor. It's about grit, determination, and the will to win. Linus, despite being drunk, could have that unpredictable wild energy, but Stallman with a katana? That's a serious advantage.

**My call**: Stallman takes this one, folks. The katana's reach and Stallman's focus on free software principles could translate into a disciplined approach to combat, even if it's a bit unconventional.


Here's the epic showdown: Linus Torvalds, looking wildly unpredictable, facing off against the disciplined Richard Stallman with his katana. This visual really captures the intensity of the hypothetical battle. With Stallman's focus and the lethal katana, he's got the edge in this clash.

In this matchup, Stallman emerges as the probable winner. What a fight that would be!

@BrodieOnLinux Linus, especially if he has access to all of his empties as ammunition.

@BrodieOnLinux Linus, of course. But after the fight Stallman starts gaslighting everyone about the inevitability of his victory.

@BrodieOnLinux Stallman would immediately ask for the steel recipe in the katana and refuse it's use if that wasn't available.

While his opponent was distracted by the opportunity to lecture, Torvalds would grab the katana and open Stallman's source...

@BrodieOnLinux stallman with a katana.

Linus may be in a drunken rage, plastered out of his mind when attacking Stallman, Stallman in fear would shove the katana right into Linus gut or chest.

Honestly, it would not be a very exciting or interesting fight.
