I've felt I should walk away since I heard his views on GPLv2 vs GPLv3.. and his infamous lack of compassion when communicating with others.

I'm interested using GNU Hurd as an alternative to Linux, eventually.

    Given that GNU Hurd started over 35 years ago and the only distro, such as it is, that's using it has latest news from 2018, you could be waiting for a while.

    What about his lack of compassion?

    "Torvalds is known for vocally disagreeing with other developers on the Linux kernel mailing list. Calling himself a "really unpleasant person", he explained, "I'd like to be a nice person and curse less and encourage people to grow rather than telling them they are idiots. I'm sorry—I tried, it's just not in me." - Wikipedia
